About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source issued by the City of Fort Myers Procurement Services for Vac-Con equipment, parts, and service provided by Aquatech. The solicitation was released on August 20, 2026, with a submission deadline of September 7, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. (ET). The City intends to procure Vac-Con equipment, parts, and associated service from Aquatech as a sole source supplier. This notice remains active for fifteen calendar days, during which any supplier believing they are capable of providing equivalent products or services may submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities through the vendor questionnaire for departmental consideration. Interested parties must contact Purchasing Manager Denise Finn via email at dfinn@fortmyers.gov to be considered. No formal solicitation submissions are required at this stage; responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted.
The City of Fort Myers justifies this sole source procurement method based on manufacturer warranty requirements, which would be voided if products or services are obtained from alternative suppliers. The procurement is authorized under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c). The Procurement Division has identified Aquatech as the exclusive source for this product and service. Specific pricing, contract term, and renewal options are not detailed in this notice, as this document serves primarily as a pre-award announcement inviting potential alternative suppliers to demonstrate comparable capabilities before the City proceeds with sole source negotiations with Aquatech.
