About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source contract issued by the City of Fort Myers Procurement Services in Florida for the procurement of service and parts to maintain Kubota UTVs from Creel Tractor. The notice was released on August 20, 2026, with a submission deadline of September 7, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. (ET). This is not a formal solicitation requiring submissions; rather, it is a notice that the City intends to negotiate and award a contract with a single source under the authority of Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c). The posting will remain active for fifteen calendar days, during which any supplier believing they are capable of providing the same or similar product or service may submit product information, statement of qualifications, and capabilities to the Purchasing Agent, Kirk Zimmerman, at kzimmerman@fortmyers.gov. Responses received will be considered solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement and will not be treated as proposals, bids, or quotes.
The sole source justification is based on warranty protection; using a supplier other than Creel Tractor would void the manufacturer's warranty on the Kubota UTV equipment. Creel Tractor has been identified as the exclusive source for this product and service. The contract encompasses sales, rentals, and service and parts support, with the primary goal of maintaining the manufacturer's warranty coverage for the City's equipment. No pricing terms, set-asides, or specific funding amounts are detailed in this notice, as it represents only the initial notification phase of the procurement process rather than a formal bid solicitation.
