Xylem_Sole_Source_Sole_Source_Letter.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Single/Sole Source Procurement letter from the City of Port Orange, Florida, regarding the purchase of Xylem Flygt submersible pumps and related services. The City intends to award a sole-source contract to Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc., identified as the only vendor capable of providing Flygt products and services with authorized dealer status and approved business locations serving the Sanford area. The procurement action is authorized under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c), which permits single-source procurement when services can be met by only one source. Interested firms claiming capability to provide the specified products and services are invited to submit written responses demonstrating clear and convincing documentation of their qualifications, including firm name, address, point of contact, telephone number, email, and detailed capability statements. Responses received will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted rather than proceeding with the sole-source award.

No specific contract pricing, quantities, response deadlines, or contract term information is detailed in this notice. The letter emphasizes that any responses submitted will not be considered as formal proposals, bids, or quotes but rather as evidence for the City's evaluation of whether competitive procurement is necessary. This notice represents the City's preliminary determination that Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. possesses exclusive capability to meet the procurement requirements based on authorized dealer status and geographic service availability.
