Fitbench All In One, Space Saving Workout Bench

The City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department is pursuing a sole source procurement for four FITBENCH Studio workout benches through solicitation number 25-X-00909. The procurement is specific to Hillsborough County, Florida, and targets an innovative, all-in-one space-saving fitness equipment solution. The FITBENCH product offers a unique, articulating 8-position workout bench with a solid surface designed for various exercise types including step-ups, box jumps, and incline/decline movements. Vendors must be authorized manufacturer's distributors or dealers capable of providing warranty service, maintenance, and repairs. The procurement requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, and Employer's Liability Insurance. The solicitation was posted on March 16, 2025, with a due date of March 20, 2025, indicating a relatively short response window for potential vendors.

The opportunity appears to be a non-restricted procurement without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. FITBENCH is positioning this as a sole source procurement, emphasizing their exclusive manufacturing rights and five utility and design patents for their product. The total estimated project cost is $8,697.00, which includes $7,197.00 for four FITBENCH Studio units and $1,500.00 for shipping. The workout benches are manufactured in the USA, feature a 1,000 lb capacity, and measure 46.5in x 16in x 15in. Additional product features include fully encased dumbbell hooks, a locking mobility system with a safety visual indicator, and a soft-closing mechanism. Potential vendors will have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to provide the specified equipment and meet the comprehensive insurance and qualification requirements outlined in the solicitation documents.
