This document is a Description of Intended Single Source Purchase (Form PUR 7776) issued by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). The DEO intends to acquire design, labor, materials, and reconfiguration services for its existing Series 225 Movable Wall Systems from the sole-source provider, e2 Walls, Inc. The DEO requires these services on an as-needed basis over a one-year term. The estimated dollar amount for these services is $150,000. The DEO has determined that e2 Walls, Inc. is the only manufacturer and installer of the Series 225 Movable Wall System, which was originally installed in the DEO's Caldwell Building in 2002.
The DEO has performed market research and determined that e2 Walls, Inc. is the sole provider of the required movable wall system in Florida. The DEO cites the cost-efficiency, flexibility, and consistency of appearance and structure as justification for continuing to utilize the Series 225 Movable Wall System.

Estimated Dollar Amount: $150,000 (Purchase Orders will be issued by respective Program entities within the DEO on an as needed basis.)
Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):
The Series 225 Moveable Wall System was originally installed in the Caldwell Building in 2002 by Wall Innovators, who manufactured and installed the moveable wall system. In 2009, E2 Walls, Incorporated, purchased Wall Innovators. E2 Walls, Inc. is the only manufacturer and installer of the moveable wall system which was originally installed in the Caldwell Building. The moveable wall system allows for quick, flexible and cost efficient means to meet the upcoming needs of relocations and additional office space required. The wall system products are not compatible with other moveable wall materials.
DEO has determined a need to continue with the use of the Series 225 Moveable Wall System because of the cost efficiency, flexibility and consistency of appearance and structure within the Caldwell Building. Having performed an internet search for Series 225 Movable Wall System and previous single sources advertisements it was discovered that only E2Walls, Inc., offers this product in Florida.
Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
