RE: Sole Source
Weedoo Greenboat, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Weedoo") is writing to advise you of our patented outdrive system, which provides propulsion to our aquatic weed harvester. This system is a key component that makes our harvester unique and distinguishes it from any other similar product on the market.
Our outdrive system is protected by patent U.S. 17/383632, and as such, no other company is authorized to use or reproduce this technology without our express permission. We have invested significant time, effort, and resources into the development and refinement of this system, and we believe that it is a critical aspect of the performance and effectiveness of our aquatic weed harvester.
Given that our outdrive system is patent protected and is a unique component of our harvester, we believe that Weedoo should be considered as the sole source producer for this technology. As a result, we respectfully request that any procurement process for aquatic weed harvesters include Weedoo as the sole source producer for any outdrive system that is similar or identical to our patented technology.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to the opportunity to work with your municipality in the future. For any further inquiries, feel free to contact me at bobby@weedooboats.com or 561.204.5765
Sincerely, Bobby O’Shields
Vice President mailto:bobby@weedooboats.com
