About this opportunity

Hillsborough County, Florida intends to award a sole-source contract to Ring Power Corporation for manufacturer-authorized Caterpillar generator maintenance, repair, emergency response, and OEM parts supply, with challenges due November 18, 2026. The estimated value is $3.94 million over five years. The County justifies the award under Section 3-205(2)(e) of its Procurement Policy because Ring Power is the sole manufacturer-authorized Caterpillar dealer and service provider for the County's existing fleet. This notice is not a request for competitive bids. Contractors able to provide the identified proprietary parts, goods, and services must submit clear and convincing information challenging the intended award through the "submission" section in EUNA Procurement by the Close Date. The County will review properly submitted challenges to determine whether bona fide competition exists. Absent challenges, award follows the Close Date.

Scope covers preventive maintenance, load-bank testing, technical inspections, proprietary diagnostics, certified technician services, equipment rentals, and genuine Caterpillar OEM parts for critical backup power at 33 County facilities, including wastewater treatment plants, water treatment plants, and transfer stations. Coverage includes 42 permanent generators ranging from 40kW to 3,000kW and 15 trailer-mounted generators. The quote is priced for 2027 through 2032 and includes labor at $209.00 per hour for 2,250 normal-hour service hours, $313.50 per hour for 1,250 after-hours hours, and $418.00 per hour for 300 holiday and Sunday hours. It also includes 900 technical inspections at $560.00 each, a $175,000.00 equipment rental allowance, and a 10 percent discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price on OEM parts, with an estimated parts value of $725,250.00.

The County reserves the right to extend the contract period, adjust the scope of services, and increase the award amount. A Caterpillar authorization letter dated August 25, 2026 confirms Ring Power's dealer status for a defined Florida service territory and its distributor roles under Sourcewell contracts and OMNIA Partners Contract #212816-01.
