About this file
This is a Single Source Procurement Notice from the City of Winter Park, Florida, regarding Sectional Liner Repair Products. The City has identified Stephens Technologies, Inc. as the exclusive source for this specialized product and is issuing this notice to allow other potential suppliers an opportunity to demonstrate comparable capabilities. The posting will remain active for fifteen business days pursuant to Florida Statute 287.057. The requestor, Leana Suarez, submitted this request on January 12, 2026, for fiscal year 2026. No specific response date, bidder's meeting, or award date is provided in the documentation.
The estimated annual spending for this procurement is less than $100,000. The City justifies the single source designation based on specific technical features available only from Stephens Technologies, including product availability in sizes up to ten feet without liner joints, use of a releasing agent rather than plastic wrapper, Velcro strips and cable ties for diameter alignment, sealed plastic protective containers, and reusable storage containers for resins that allow partial kit usage and resealing. The City conducted market research comparing products from competing manufacturers—Maxliner, PrimeLiner, and Perma-Liner—and determined they lack all the required features. The City certifies that this purchase will not obligate it to the vendor for future purchases and that no additional benefits are anticipated from this designation. Prospective respondents may submit written notifications of any requirement appearing to restrict competition no later than five business days prior to the proposal due date.

2. Notice
It is the policy of the City of Winter Park to consistently purchase goods and services by full and open competition. The taxpayers of Winter Park are best served when we make sound business decisions based on competitive bids or proposals. Early acquisition planning, including the Procurement Division, can help to avoid delays and facilitate effective market research. However, there may be instances in which a method other than full and open competition can be justified. If a user department determines that a method alternative to full and open competition is necessary or in the best interest of the
City of Winter Park, appropriate justification for that course of action must be submitted to the Procurement Division for approval in order to waive the competitive procurement process.
It is the responsibility of any prospective Respondent to notify the Procurement Division in writing of any requirement or condition that may unduly restrict competition or appear to favor a single vendor or manufacturer. Such notification must be submitted no later than five (5) business days prior to the proposal due date and time.

*Definition of Uniquely:
A. Being the only one of its kind
B. Without an equal or equivalent; unparalleled
C. Unusual; extraordinary

1. Explain why the product/service requested is the only product/service that can satisfy your requirements. Be specific with regard to specifications, features, characteristics, requirements, capabilities and compatibility. Describe what steps have been taken to make this determination:
The product has the following features. Other manufacturers (Maxliner, PrimeLiner, Perma-Liner) do not have all of these features. 1) Product is available in sizes up to the length of the City's existing packer (10 feet) which allows repairs from 0 to 10 feet without liner joints. 2) Product uses a releasing agent instead of a plastic wrapper to protect the packer from the curing resin. 3) Velcro strips and cable ties are used to line up the liner to the correct diameter and keep the liner in place when the liner is installed. 4) Kit is provided in sealed plastic protective container. 5) Kits come with resins in storage containers (not one time use containers) and liners can be customized to length. This allows kits to be partially used and resealed in protective containers for future use.
2. Explain why this service provider, supplier or manufacturer is the unique available source from which to obtain this product/service. Describe the efforts that were made to verify and confirm the validity of a distributor’s claim to be the only available source.
(Obtain and include a signed letter from the manufacturer confirming claims made by distributors of exclusive distributorship):
The manufacturer is the only supplier of the product per the attached vendor letter.
3. Will this purchase obligate the City to a particular vendor for future purchases? (Either in terms of maintenance that only this vendor will be able to perform and/or if we purchase this item, will we need more “like” items in the future to match this one?):
No
4. Please describe your market research and the results thereof, including a description of other similar sources or products available and why they are not acceptable:
Other manufacturers (Maxliner, PrimeLiner, Perma-Liner) produce similar products but do not have all of the features described previously.
I certify that the above statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and that prices obtained are fair and reasonable. I also certify that neither I, nor my family members, will gain or receive any additional benefit because I have recommended that this acquisition be obtained solely from a designated vendor or contractor.
