Great Southern Equipment

The City of Sanford, Florida Finance Department's Purchasing Division is pursuing a single-source procurement for Gradall Parts & Service through a contract with Great Southern Equipment LLC, located in Atlanta, GA. The procurement specifically targets maintenance and service for two Gradall equipment units (Unit 52, Serial #0210017888 and Unit 53, Serial #3140000462) within the Public Works & Utilities/Fleet Department. The contract term is one year, with a total value of $49,999.00, and is being processed under sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3) of Florida Statutes, which govern non-competitive procurement processes. The public notice was posted on March 12, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of March 26, 2025. Interested parties are invited to submit statements of qualifications or product capabilities to the Purchasing Coordinator, Frank Mascola, if they believe they can provide comparable products or services.

This procurement appears to be a sole-source contract with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents. Great Southern Equipment LLC is identified as the exclusive authorized vendor for these Gradall equipment parts and services, with no other retailers or representatives legally permitted to sell, solicit, deliver, or service the specified units. The contract does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. The procurement is limited to a single vendor due to the unique authorization of Great Southern Equipment LLC as the only source for these specific Gradall equipment components and services. The contract's estimated value of $49,999.00 suggests a focused, targeted procurement with a relatively modest budget allocation for the one-year term.
