This is a Sole Provider Letter related to a Notice of Intended Single/Sole Source Purchase filed by the Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida for the procurement of transport ventilators. The Clay County Fire Rescue department seeks to purchase Hamilton-T1 transport ventilators manufactured by Hamilton Medical, Inc., along with associated EMS packages to replace discontinued units currently in service. These ventilators are intended to support advanced respiratory care capabilities during emergency response and patient transport operations. The procurement will be conducted through a sole source acquisition method, with the notice posted for a minimum of 7 business days in accordance with section 287.057(3)(c), Florida Statutes.

The Hamilton-T1 transport ventilator has been selected as the sole product meeting Clay County Fire Rescue's operational and clinical requirements due to its advanced ventilation capabilities, including invasive and non-invasive ventilation modes, Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) technology, integrated monitoring systems, and extended battery life designed for prehospital and transport environments. Hamilton Medical, Inc. is identified as the sole manufacturer and distributor of this equipment. Standardizing this specific equipment across the department's fleet will support continuity of care, simplify training and maintenance procedures, and ensure compatibility with existing clinical workflows and equipment already utilized by the department. The Clay County Purchasing Department intends to utilize the sole source procurement method to contract directly with Hamilton Medical for the supply of these ventilators.
