This document is a sole source letter from 501 Equipment, located in McGaheysville, Virginia, related to a potential contract opportunity with Collier County, Florida. The letter, dated April 1, 2024, confirms that the Swirly Surface Cleaner is manufactured in the USA and sold exclusively through 501 Equipment, establishing the company as the sole distributor of this product.

The letter appears to support Collier County's intent to designate Superior Farm Equipment DBA 501 Equipment as a sole source provider for a pressure washer mounted attachment compatible with their current Ventrac 4500 riding machines. The document provides a direct statement from Loren Barnhart, the business owner, verifying the unique distribution status of the Swirly Surface Cleaner, which may help substantiate the county's sole source procurement process for this specific equipment.
