Technical_Sales_Corp_Sole_Source_letter_May_2026.pdf

This is a sole source distributor letter from Liberty Engineered Products to the City of Plant City, Florida's Utilities Department, dated May 12, 2026, confirming that Technical Sales Corporation serves as the exclusive municipal distributor for Liberty Pumps submersible wastewater pumps ranging from 2.5 to 15 horsepower. The letter, signed by Paul Lahr, National Sales Manager, addresses Tony Bauer, the Mechanical/Electrical/I&C Superintendent, and explicitly states that this sole distributorship applies only to pumps sold to the municipality of Plant City, Florida and does not extend to commercial or industrial sales.

The City of Plant City's concurrent Notice of Intent to Sole Source corroborates this arrangement, formally announcing the municipality's intention to procure Liberty Pumps exclusively through Technical Sales Corporation as the sole authorized representative in the State of Florida. The notice serves to notify the vendor community and invites responses only from vendors who dispute the sole source designation; no further action is required from vendors in agreement with the arrangement. This sole source designation eliminates competitive bidding requirements for these specific submersible wastewater pumps for the municipality's operations.
