The City of Winter Park, Florida, is pursuing a Single Source Request (SS25-17) for Filtros Ceramic Diffusers for the Magnolia Water Plant, specifically targeting a newly constructed ozone manifold system. The procurement focuses on acquiring all-ceramic diffusers uniquely designed for ozone diffusion processes, with a response deadline of February 17, 2025, at 2:00 pm. These specialized diffusers are NSF-61 approved for drinking water and are notable for their low metal content, which reduces corrosion risks during water treatment. The city seeks original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair and replacement parts to ensure reliable functionality of their water treatment equipment. Key objectives include maintaining water treatment system integrity and leveraging the proven low failure rate of the Filtros ceramic diffuser technology. The procurement is structured as a single source acquisition due to the unique technical specifications of the Filtros diffusers, which cannot be replicated by alternative manufacturers. This procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of vendor set-asides, with Filtros Limited positioned as the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the specified ceramic diffusers. The total estimated fiscal year spending for this procurement is $75,000, indicating a moderate-scale water treatment infrastructure investment. The sole source letter from Filtros Limited, dated October 22, 2024, explicitly confirms that no other company produces a comparable product with identical specifications. Contact information for Jennifer Turner at Filtros Limited (jturner@filtrosltd.com or 585-586-8770 ext. 227) is provided for potential inquiries. The procurement is specific to Orange County, Florida, and targets the Magnolia Water Plant's existing infrastructure, which was designed to accommodate these specific ceramic diffusers. While the document does not outline explicit evaluation criteria beyond the sole source designation, the procurement appears focused on maintaining consistent and reliable water treatment equipment performance.
