About this opportunity

The City of Sanford, Florida's Finance Department Purchasing Division is pursuing a single-source procurement for motorcycle law enforcement helmets specifically from Super Seer Corporation, focusing on the S2108V-66-CF6 model for the Sanford Police Department. The procurement seeks helmets constructed with uni-directional Advanced Composite Carbon Fibers, designed to maximize weight reduction and strength through specialized aerospace layup technology. These helmets meet DOT FMVSS 218 safety standards and offer unique features including custom sizing through an Adjustable Headband Suspension System and multiple customization options for paint colors, visors, and interior configurations. The solicitation was originally scheduled with a public notice period from November 25, 2024, to December 10, 2024, providing a seven-business-day window for potential alternative suppliers to submit qualifications. However, a subsequent cancellation notice dated November 26, 2024, indicates the solicitation has been completely cancelled, potentially impacting the procurement process.

While the documents do not specify explicit set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements, the procurement appears restricted due to Super Seer Corporation's claimed exclusive manufacturing rights and sole source status. The company's general product liability insurance policy mandates direct sales only to law enforcement agencies, effectively limiting potential bidders. The original procurement anticipated a one-year contract term with a total requested amount of $3,958.80 for the motorcycle helmets. The helmets are hand-made in Colorado and feature proprietary design elements that support the sole source justification, including a 6-10 ounce weight reduction and custom-designed fiber angles to improve impact performance. Despite the cancellation notice, the documents suggest the potential for future procurement of these specialized motorcycle law enforcement helmets.
