NATW_Sole_Source_Letter.pdf

The document is a sole source letter from the National Association of Town Watch (NATW) addressed to the City of Orlando, Florida, regarding National Night Out printed and promotional products. The letter confirms that NATW is the exclusive source and distributor for all National Night Out products, with federally registered trademarks for the name, logos, themes, and artwork. The related state and local contract opportunity involves the Orlando Police Department purchasing T-shirts, tanks, golf shirts, and banners for National Night Out 2024, with a sole source number S24-0523. The response deadline is Thursday, August 1, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (ET), during which potential alternative suppliers can submit product information and qualifications to the purchasing agent.

The sole source letter emphasizes that no other company is authorized to produce National Night Out products, effectively establishing NATW as the sole legitimate vendor for these items. The document provides contact information (phone: 610.649.7055, email: info@natw.org) for inquiries and is signed by the Executive Director. The contract opportunity notice invites other suppliers who believe they can provide similar products to submit their qualifications to the purchasing agent, Tracie Brown, via email. The posting will remain active for seven calendar days, during which potential alternative suppliers can challenge the sole source designation.
