Auburn_FilterSense_Single_Source_(part_2)_-_signed.pdf

This is a manufacturer's certification letter from Auburn, a Nederman Company, addressed to the City of Tampa regarding the PM 1 PRO Particulate Monitor for the McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility. The letter, dated October 20, 2025, confirms that Auburn is the sole manufacturer of the PM 1 PRO Particulate Monitor model and serves as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the facility's carbon flow sensors. Although Auburn sells through resellers, the company maintains exclusive manufacturing rights to this particular model, making it the only entity capable of providing satisfactory repairs and components for the four carbon flow sensors currently installed at the McKay Bay facility.

The correspondence is signed by Earl Parker Sr., Regional Sales Manager and Sr. Application Specialist at Auburn, and includes direct contact information for procurement purposes. This single-source justification letter supports the City of Tampa's intent to procure OEM parts and components exclusively from Auburn FilterSense, as non-OEM alternatives cannot provide satisfactory performance for the specialized carbon flow sensor equipment at the waste-to-energy facility. No pricing, contract term, or delivery schedule information is included in this certification document.
