The state and local contract opportunity involves a single-source procurement for specialized fluid control and pump equipment for Seminole County, specifically through the City of Sanford's Public Works Utilities/Plants department. The procurement focuses on acquiring specific technical equipment, including a SEEPEX BN 17-6LS 4" pump with a SEW gearbox, 5hp motor, and baseplate, designated as a "Blanket" quantity procurement. The contract is set for a one-year term, running from March 3, 2025, to March 17, 2025, with tracking number SS 24/25-117. The justification for the single-source approach is the unique manufacturing and representation status of specific vendors: SEEPEX Inc. as the sole manufacturer of its products, and Hudson Pump & Equipment as the exclusive representative for SEEPEX pump parts in Florida. The procurement allows for potential alternative suppliers to submit statements of qualifications if they can provide comparable products, with Frank Mascola serving as the Purchasing Coordinator for any inquiries or alternative submissions. The contract opportunity appears to have no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The recommended contractor is Hudson Pump & Equipment, located in Lakeland, Florida, with Robert Maxwell as the contact person. The procurement also involves other related vendors such as DeZURIK/APCO/Hilton and Fluid Control Specialties, Inc., which are positioned as sole or exclusive representatives for valve products and maintenance in the Water and Wastewater industries in Florida. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a focus on specialized, high-precision equipment for municipal water and wastewater infrastructure. The document invites potential alternative suppliers to demonstrate equivalent capabilities, indicating some flexibility in vendor selection despite the single-source recommendation. The procurement is specifically scoped for Seminole County and the City of Sanford, targeting precise technical equipment for municipal utility operations.
