This document is a Single Source Certification form and supporting memo from Yaskawa America, Inc. for the City of Tampa Water and Wastewater Department, specifically addressing a procurement for replacement parts and repairs for Yaskawa Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). The Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant seeks to single-source replacement parts from ICON Supply, Inc., the only authorized Yaskawa iQ Pump distributor for the Tampa area. The procurement is justified by the plant's extensive standardization on Yaskawa VFDs, which are considered more reliable and easier to maintain than alternative brands.

The documentation indicates that ICON Technologies (based in Tampa) is Yaskawa's exclusive channel for sales and service in the Florida Water and Wastewater Utilities market. They are certified as the sole authorized distributor providing solutions using Yaskawa product lines including iQPUMP, P1000/V1000, GA80/500, and MV1000 product lines. Additionally, ICON Technologies is currently the only company in Florida authorized by Yaskawa to support the Yaskawa G5 and A1000 High Horsepower Module product lines in the Water and Wastewater Industry. The single-source request was initiated on 04-21-2023 and approved by the Purchasing Department on 4/24/23.
