About this file
This is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Determination Letter from the City of Tampa's Purchasing Department for Project 26-P-00028, concerning the procurement of Cardiac Science Defibrillators and accessories. The City of Tampa seeks to procure specific AED equipment and related components, including 100 adult AED pads, 50 Powerheart G5 batteries, 20 complete AED units with iCPR fully automatic dual language capability, 20 AED/CPR response kits, 10 AED surface mount wall cabinets, and 10 V-shape wall mount signs. Each AED unit includes a carry sleeve, 4-year battery, one set of adult pads, data cable, user guide, inspection tag, window sticker, and an 8-year warranty. The bid opening is scheduled for December 19, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal, with the City reserving the right to award within 120 days after bid opening. Materials must be delivered within 15 working days after order receipt. The no-substitution policy ensures consistency with the City's existing inventory of over 190 AED units distributed throughout city-owned buildings.
The estimated contract amount is $60,000.00, and this procurement is designated as a Sheltered Market exclusively for Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs). A 5 percent bid discount is available to certified SLBE vendors, not to exceed $10,000. Seven certified small local business enterprises are eligible to participate in this solicitation. Bidders must be registered to do business in Florida and provide proof of registration within ten days of award notification. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder and reserves the right to reject all bids or award by division or aggregate total. Bidders must submit manufacturer's original warranty documentation and proof of distributorship. The procurement was determined to be a traditional solicitation as the scope did not meet Racial and Women's Availability (RWA) parameters for a narrowly tailored requirement. The EBO determination was approved on October 29, 2025.
