This is a Sole Provider Letter supporting Clay County Board of County Commissioners' notice of intended sole source purchase for Hamilton-T1 transport ventilators and associated EMS packages for the Clay County Fire Rescue department. The procurement seeks to acquire Hamilton-T1 transport ventilators manufactured exclusively by Hamilton Medical, Inc. to replace discontinued units currently in service and enhance advanced respiratory care capabilities during emergency response and patient transport operations. The notice of intended sole source purchase was posted on March 12, 2026, with a public comment deadline of March 23, 2026, providing a minimum of seven business days for comment in accordance with Florida Statutes section 287.057(3)(c). No specific quantity, award date, site visit, or bidders' conference information is provided in the available documentation.

The Hamilton-T1 transport ventilators must deliver advanced ventilation capabilities including invasive and non-invasive ventilation modes, Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) technology, integrated monitoring systems, and extended battery life specifically designed for prehospital and transport environments to support care for both adult and pediatric patients. The sole source designation restricts procurement to Hamilton Medical, Inc. as the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the Hamilton-T1 transport ventilator. The procurement approach emphasizes standardization across the fleet to support continuity of care, simplify training and maintenance procedures, and ensure compatibility with existing clinical workflows and equipment already in use by the department. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendor information, award value ranges, contract term details, or specific funding sources are indicated in the available documentation.
