About this file

This document is a Notice of Intent to Procure Non-Competitively issued by Pinellas County's Administrative Services Purchasing & Risk Management Division for a one-time purchase of a SMART Trailer. The county intends to recommend a non-competitive procurement method for this acquisition, specifically through Rehab for Firefighters, Inc., which is identified as the sole source for this product in the United States. Interested contractors are required to submit a corporate letter verifying their authorization to sell SMART trailer products by Thursday, January 4, 2024, at 3:00 PM EST via the OpenGov platform. The responses will be used to determine whether bona fide competition exists for this procurement.

The procurement is unique in that it explicitly states Rehab for Firefighters, Inc. is the exclusive vendor for the SMART Trailer in the United States, which justifies the non-competitive procurement approach. Contractors must demonstrate they are authorized to sell these specific trailer products, with the county reserving the right to award the contract after the response deadline. The notice includes accessibility accommodations for persons with disabilities, providing contact information (727/464-4062) for those requiring reasonable accommodations to participate in the procurement process, and lists the full contact details for Merry Celeste, the Division Director, at 400 South Fort Harrison Avenue in Clearwater, Florida.
