Xylem_Sole_Source_Letter_2-17-26.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source from the City of Holly Hill, located in Volusia County, Florida, regarding the procurement of Xylem Water Solutions USA Inc. Flygt OEM parts and associated equipment. The City seeks to acquire Flygt pumps, replacement components, and specialized parts necessary to maintain and support its existing pumping systems infrastructure. The procurement encompasses proprietary pump components and equipment engineered specifically for compatibility with the City's current water infrastructure. The seven-day public notice period for this sole source procurement commenced on March 13, 2026, and serves as the required notification window before the City may proceed with direct procurement from Xylem without competitive bidding. No bid opening will occur, as this is a sole source procurement that eliminates competitive responses from other vendors.

The sole source justification is based on the proprietary and specialized nature of Flygt equipment, which cannot be substituted with products from alternative manufacturers due to incompatibility with the City's existing pumping infrastructure. Xylem Water Solutions USA Inc. is identified as the incumbent vendor and the exclusive authorized provider of Flygt products and repair services throughout Florida east of the Apalachicola River, establishing the absence of viable alternative suppliers. The City's requirement for integration with existing Flygt pumping systems is a fundamental specification for all procured parts and equipment. The specific contract value or budget range for this sole source procurement was not disclosed in the available documentation.
