This is a Sole Source Form for Sarasota County's Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources (PRNR) Department, specifically requesting procurement approval for Kompan Inc. as the sole source provider of playground equipment and replacement parts for county park systems. The procurement is for replacement Kompan equipment, parts, and accessories for existing Kompan playground systems in Sarasota County Parks, with an estimated expenditure of $50,000.00 for the fiscal/contract year, not to exceed $150,000.

Kompan Inc. has been identified as the only authorized vendor and distributor for their playground equipment in West Florida, with no other vendors capable of supplying similar products. The county intends to purchase replacement parts and accessories on an as-needed basis directly from the manufacturer. The sole source approval is initially granted for a period of 3 years or until Kompan is no longer the only authorized vendor/distributor. The procurement is being handled by the PRNR Administration and Business Operations division, with a submittal by Teri Stabler and management oversight by Shelia Roberson.
