About this file
The document is a Public Notice of Intent to Single/Sole Source Purchase Request for Information (RFI) 25-35 issued by the City of Oviedo, Florida, specifically targeting Fire-Dex GW, LLC DBA Gear Wash for PPE maintenance services. The RFI, valid for Fiscal Year 2025 (April 10, 2025 – September 30, 2025), seeks to verify whether the specifications for the commodity/service are nonrestrictive and if multiple companies can provide the same service. Fire-Dex GW, LLC is identified as an independent service provider (ISP) verified to clean, inspect, and repair firefighter gear, with the unique capability of providing a mobile unit for on-site PPE maintenance in Florida. The RFI's notice end date is April 21, 2025, at 4:00 P.M. EST, with responses to be submitted electronically or hand-delivered to the Purchasing Division.
The RFI invites prospective respondents who disagree with the sole source designation to provide information about their ability to offer equivalent services, without including pricing initially. All responses will be evaluated jointly by the Purchasing Division and the requesting Department to determine approved equal status. The specific service details indicate Gear Wash can service 25 gear sets daily with a 36-hour turnaround time, and they are currently the only verified provider in Florida with a mobile PPE maintenance unit. A supporting letter from Whitney Yeager, Business Development Manager, confirms the sole source status of the Gear Wash mobile unit, emphasizing their unique service capabilities in gear cleaning, inspection, and repair.
