About this opportunity

Hillsborough County is pursuing a sole source procurement for Holmatro extrication equipment and maintenance services for the Fire Rescue Department. The county intends to award a one-year contract to North America Fire Equipment Co., Inc. (NAFECO), the sole authorized factory dealer for Holmatro products in Florida. The procurement encompasses the purchase of emergency response tools including 1 Pentheon Cutter, 4 Pentheon Spreaders, 5 PTR50 Telescopic Rams, 50 Pentheon 8Ah Batteries, 50 Greenline Batteries, 8 Pentheon Battery Chargers, and various accessories. Annual preventative maintenance and emergency repair services are also included, with detailed pricing for service calls, non-warranty labor, and repair parts. The contract is set to run from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with the county reserving the right to extend the time period and adjust the scope of services. Potential vendors who believe they can provide substantially equivalent goods or services must submit challenges through the EUNA Procurement platform by October 31, 2025.

The procurement is restricted to NAFECO as the exclusive authorized dealer, with no apparent set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The sole source justification is based on NAFECO's unique authorization to service and maintain Holmatro equipment while preserving manufacturer warranties. The total procurement value is $393,131.00, broken down into $282,516.00 for equipment purchase and $110,615.00 for annual maintenance and repair services. Existing Holmatro rescue systems are already deployed across all Fire Rescue apparatus, requiring continued compatibility and adherence to manufacturer specifications. The county emphasizes that using unauthorized sources or service technicians will void the Holmatro lifetime warranty. Challenges to the sole source procurement must provide clear and convincing evidence of comparable product and service capabilities to be considered by the county procurement team.

Opportunity text

Hillsborough County intends to recommend the award of a sole source procurement to North America Fire Equipment Co., Inc. (NAFECO) for a one (1) year contract at a total cost of $393,131.00 for the purchase, maintenance, and repair of Holmatro extrication equipment for the Fire Rescue Department. This procurement is being made in accordance with Section 3-205(2)(f) of the County's Procurement Policy as NAFECO is the sole authorized factory dealer for Holmatro extrication tools and equipment in the State of Florida. The County's existing Holmatro rescue systems are deployed on all Fire Rescue apparatus and must be serviced, repaired, and maintained by the manufacturer's authorized dealer to ensure warranty compliance, equipment compatibility, and operational safety. No other vendor is licensed or authorized to provide these products or perform warranty-covered services. The County reserves the right to extend the time period further, adjust the scope of services in response to changing conditions and updated requirements, and increase the resulting award accordingly. Contractors who believe that they can provide goods and/or services that are substantially and materially the same as those identified in the attached quotes must submit clear and convincing information to support a challenge to the intended award. Challenges to this notice must be received no later than the Close Date of the Sole Source Project and must be submitted using the "submission" section in EUNA Procurement, formally known as Bonfire, for this particular procurement. After this date, an award will be made. The County will review properly submitted challenges (responses) to determine whether bona fide competition exists.
