About this file
This document is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source (NOI) from the City of Plant City, Florida, for Fire Rescue Accreditation Services from the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). The NOI was issued on March 27, 2024, with a response period from March 27 to April 4, 2024, and a Question & Answer end date of April 2, 2024, before 2:00 PM local time. The purpose is to verify with the vendor community that no alternative vendors are authorized by CPSE to provide fire rescue accreditation services. Vendors are required to submit responses online through the City's E-Procurement Portal if they disagree with the sole source intent.
The accompanying letter from CPSE details that they are a non-profit corporation holding the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) and are the only organization providing fire service accreditation worldwide. Their Technical Advisor Program (TAP) offers a unique self-assessment manual process with CFAI-recognized experts, ensuring quality process facilitation and addressing international fire accreditation competencies. CPSE emphasizes their strict conflict of interest policies, guaranteeing that each agency is evaluated on its own merits during the accreditation process, with technical advisors not participating in the formal evaluation.

Jeremy Sidlauskas, Fire Chief Plant City Fire Rescue 604 E. Alexander Street Plant City, Florida 33563
Dear Chief Sidlauskas:
In respect to the sole source consideration, the Center for Public Safety Excellence® (CPSE®) is a non-profit corporation that holds the Commission on Fire Accreditation International® (CFAI®) and the Commission on Professional Credentialing® (CPC®). The CFAI was created through a memorandum of understanding between the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and is the only organization that provides fire service accreditation in the world.
The Center’s Technical Advisor Program® (TAP®) has the only team of CFAI-recognized experts on the accreditation model available to professionally facilitate a self-assessment manual process. These CPSE technical advisors assure that the tenets of a quality process facilitation are accomplished while ensuring that all current and proposed relative international fire accreditation competencies are properly addressed. This is of greatest benefit to fire departments that are interested in, or who plan to pursue or maintain international fire accreditation.
Formal CPSE “conflict of interest” policies are in place and are strictly followed with the use of the technical advisor team to assure that neither collusion nor special advantage is afforded to an agency in its bid for accredited status.
Every agency that sits before the CFAI in a bid for accreditation is heard on its own merit, and the technical advisors who worked with the agency are in no way a part of the formal accreditation evaluation or hearing by CFAI.
Should you have any questions in this matter, please feel free to contact myself or our Chief Operating Officer, Ms.
Debbie Sobotka.
Sincerely, Brian R. Dean, MS, CFO, EFO Technical Advisor Program Manager
