About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source from the City of Fort Myers Procurement Services in Florida for the acquisition of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Parts from Bobcat Holdings. The City intends to procure OEM parts necessary to maintain manufacturer warranty coverage for Bobcat equipment. The notice was released on August 20, 2026, with a submission deadline of September 7, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET. The posting remains active for fifteen calendar days, during which time alternative suppliers capable of providing equivalent products or services may submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities for departmental consideration. This is not a formal solicitation requiring submissions; rather, responses are considered solely to determine whether competitive procurement should be conducted.
The City of Fort Myers Procurement Division has identified Bobcat Holdings as the exclusive source for this product based on the justification that the manufacturer's warranty will be voided if parts from other suppliers are used. Interested vendors must contact the Purchasing Agent, Kirk Zimmerman, at kzimmerman@fortmyers.gov or (239) 321-7241 to submit alternative product information. The procurement is authorized under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c), which governs sole source acquisitions. No pricing information, contract term, or funding amounts are specified in this notice, as the document is primarily a pre-award notification allowing for competitive challenge before the sole source award proceeds.
