About this opportunity
The City of Orlando's Procurement and Contracts Division, operating within Orange County, Florida, is seeking to procure 10 truckloads of Cannon Baseball Clay through a sole source solicitation (S25-0535) with C. C. Calhoun Inc. as the identified exclusive supplier. The procurement is specifically for the Families Parks and Recreation Department and focuses on obtaining specialized baseball field clay material. The solicitation was issued on August 12, 2025, with responses due by August 20, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). During the seven-calendar-day posting period, alternative suppliers are invited to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capability documentation to challenge the current vendor's sole source status. The evaluation will be conducted by Senior Purchasing Agent Angela L. Thomas, who will review submissions via email at angela.thomas@orlando.gov. Potential respondents must demonstrate their ability to provide equivalent baseball clay products and meet the specific requirements outlined in the vendor questionnaire.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. C. C. Calhoun Inc. is currently positioned as the sole source provider, emphasizing their unique status in producing baseball clay, with no other distributors marketing their goods. The company has been operating in Florida for over 50 years, with locations in Dundee and Winter Haven. While no specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the documents, the procurement is for 10 truckloads of baseball clay. The sole source process allows for potential alternative suppliers to challenge the current vendor by demonstrating equivalent capabilities. The procurement appears to be a targeted, specialized acquisition focused on obtaining high-quality baseball clay for municipal park and recreation facilities, with an emphasis on maintaining consistent field maintenance standards.
