3-Yaskawa SS LETTER.pdf

This is a letter of authorization from Yaskawa America Inc. to Hillsborough County Utilities regarding authorized distribution and service partnerships in Florida. The letter, dated June 3, 2026, identifies ICON Technologies, based in Tampa, as Yaskawa's exclusive channel partner for sales and service to the Florida Water and Wastewater Utilities Market. ICON Technologies is designated as the only authorized distributor providing Florida municipal entities with complete solutions utilizing Yaskawa's iQPUMP, P1000/V1000, GA800/500, FP/WM605, and MV1000 product lines, along with certification as an authorized service provider for startup and repair/replacement services. Additionally, ICON Technologies holds exclusive authorization to support the Yaskawa G5 and A1000 High Horsepower Module product line for the Water and Wastewater Industry in Florida.

The letter establishes ICON Technologies' sole source status for Yaskawa products and services in the Florida water and wastewater sector. This authorization directly supports Hillsborough County's intent to award a sole source procurement to SJ Electro Systems LLC for ICON, Solcon, and Yaskawa variable frequency drive products, parts, turnkey retrofit services, repair services, and emergency repair services at water treatment plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and lift stations for a three-year term with an estimated cost of $6,500,014.38. The sole source justification is based on the exclusive distribution and service authorization documented in this letter, which eliminates bona fide competition for these proprietary products and services.
