S25-0030_Vendor_Letter.pdf

This document is a vendor letter from Velocity Systems to Lt. Daniel Robertson of the Orlando Police Department dated October 24, 2024, addressing a sole source procurement for custom Rugby Shirts. The letter confirms that Velocity Systems is the exclusive provider of the VL-110 short sleeve, no sleeve pocket Rugby Shirts, which are a special order custom item not available through other dealers or distributors. The related state and local contract opportunity (Sole Source Number S25-0030) involves the Orlando Police Department requesting custom Rugby Short and Long Sleeve shirts in Ranger Green with no sleeve pocket, specifically part number VS-BRNP-RG in sizes Small through Double Extra Large.

The procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition with a response deadline of November 1, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). The document indicates that while Velocity Systems is currently the identified exclusive source, other suppliers are invited to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities to the Purchasing Agent, Tracie Brown, via email if they believe they can provide equivalent products. The seven-day posting period allows potential alternative vendors to challenge the sole source designation by demonstrating their capability to meet the Orlando Police Department's specific requirements.
