BIP3281_Seiler Authorized Dealer Letter 01082026_Trimble GPS Maintenance FY27.pdf

This is an authorization letter from Trimble Navigation Limited confirming Seiler Instrument's exclusive dealer status in the Midwest region, supporting a sole source contract opportunity for Trimble Survey-GPS equipment maintenance and repairs in Illinois. The letter, dated January 8, 2026, establishes that Seiler Instrument is Trimble's only authorized full-service dealer for Survey, Mapping, and GIS products across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan, Nebraska, Kentucky, and Iowa. Additionally, Seiler Instrument serves as Trimble's Certified service center for the Midwest and performs all warranty repairs on Trimble's Survey and MGIS products. The company also employs Trimble Certified Trainers to provide GPS training to customers. A notice of intent to award this sole source contract to Seiler Instrument was issued, with a deadline for interested parties to submit written comments or request a public hearing by May 30, 2026, at 4 p.m., after which the hearing would be canceled if no objections are received.

The authorization letter serves as documentation supporting the justification for the sole source award, demonstrating that Seiler Instrument holds exclusive resale and service rights for Trimble products in the specified region. No other Trimble-authorized dealers are permitted to resell Survey, Mapping, GIS, and Utilities Solutions in these states. Trimble Navigation Limited recommends that customers purchase products directly from authorized dealers to ensure proper support and warranty service. Bob Lenz, Geospatial Sales Director for Trimble Navigation Limited Americas, issued the letter and is available to verify dealer authorization status.
