This is a Sole Source Letter from the City of Port Orange, Florida, regarding the procurement of a Trantex Thermo Handliner 360M2 thermoplastic pavement markings applicator with thermostat, 6" die, and bead dispenser. The City intends to award this sole-source procurement to Transcor Supply, Inc., the authorized exclusive dealer for Trantex equipment in Florida and Georgia with approved business locations in Jacksonville. The equipment includes dropship and training services as part of the procurement. The Notice of Intent is issued under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c) to verify whether the specified services and equipment can be met by more than one source before proceeding with the sole-source award.

Interested firms must be authorized dealers for the Trantex Thermo Handliner 360M2 with Thermostat with 6" Die and Bead Dispenser and may submit written responses identifying their capability to provide the specified procurement, including firm name, address, point of contact, telephone number, email, and clear and convincing documentation of their ability to meet the requirement. The City states that responses will not be considered as proposals, bids, or quotes, but rather as information to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead of proceeding with the sole-source award recommendation to Transcor Supply, Inc.
