Darley Pumps

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is seeking competitive bids for the outright purchase and delivery of Darley Pump Products. Specifically, the Department is requesting 15 Darley Model 1 AGE 21H high-pressure, medium-volume, gear-driven pumps with Honda GX 630 engines. The Department is seeking these Darley products due to their proven reliability, repairability, and durability. Bids are due by November 4, 2022 at 5:00pm ET, and a public bid opening is scheduled for November 7, 2022 at 10:00am ET. The Department intends to make a single award or no award, based on the best interest of the state. The contract award is contingent upon annual appropriation by the Legislature, and the successful bidder must comply with various state requirements including drug-free workplace, scrutinized companies, lobbying and debarment certifications, and E-Verify registration.

This solicitation is open to all businesses, including Florida-based woman, veteran, and minority-owned small businesses. The previous purchase order for four pumps was $24,995.00. The Department is committed to full and open competition to provide equal contracting opportunities for all qualified businesses. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is provided in the documentation. The pump delivery must be no later than June 30, 2023 due to engine supply chain issues, and vendors should note a potential delay in delivery until May 5, 2023 in their proposals.
