2. NOTICE OF PROPOSED INTENT

As requested by the Procurement (hereinafter, the “Division or Department”), the Collier County Board of

County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (hereinafter, “County”) intends to designate single source 02/20/2026 TO 09/30/2027 and award without competition if it is determined to be in the best interest of the County. The Notice of Intent to Designate Single Source is not a request for pricing or a commitment to purchase.

The Procurement Ordinance, 25-34, Section Twelve, Alternative Procurement Methods defines single source as follows:

• Single Source as commodities or contractual services that are available only from a single source, or the use of such source is both economically and operationally in the County's best interest.

3. SINGLE SOURCE INFORMATION

Manufacturer Name: FREIGHTLINER, WESTERN STAR, STERLING, CUMMINS, DETROIT DIESEL

Vendor/Provider Name: TAMPA TRUCK CENTER LLC

Description of Intended Products or Services Provided:

Purchase of OEM and aftermarket medium and heavy duty truck parts, supplies, repairs, services, diagnostic services, and associated freight needed to support County-owned fleet units for the following:

> Freightliner > Western Star > Sterling > Cummins > Detroit Diesel.

Tampa Truck Center is the only authorized Freightliner and Western Star dealership in the region with certified capability to provide OEM parts, warranty repairs, proprietary diagnostics, and factory-authorized service for

County-owned Freightliner, Western Star, Sterling, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel powered equipment. Many of the County’s medium- and heavy-duty trucks use Cummins and Detroit Diesel engines, emissions systems, and driveline components that require manufacturer-certified technicians, proprietary diagnostic software, and factory-authorized repair procedures. These systems cannot be accurately diagnosed or repaired by non-dealer repair shops because Cummins INSITE, Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (DDDL), and Freightliner service tools are restricted-access platforms available only to authorized distributors and dealerships. Furthermore, OEM warranty policies for Freightliner, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel require that warranty-covered and emissions-related work be performed exclusively through an authorized dealer to maintain compliance and avoid voiding warranty protections. Tampa Truck Center is the only vendor in our service area that holds the required OEM authorizations, certified technicians, technical training, proprietary diagnostic systems, and direct manufacturer support needed to correctly service Freightliner chassis, Western Star chassis, Sterling platforms, and Cummins and Detroit Diesel engines. Because no other local vendor can legally or technically provide this combination of

OEM parts, warranty service, factory-approved diagnostics, and certified repairs, Tampa Truck Center is the sole available source capable of meeting the County’s operational, technical, and compliance requirements.
