Hunter Ultimate ADAS Comprehensive System

The Citrus Schools District in Florida is pursuing a single/sole source procurement for a Hunter Ultimate ADAS Comprehensive System designed for Master Automotive Service Technicians. The procurement encompasses an alignment system and associated frames and targets, specifically covering 13 component models including UAD145, 20-4028-1, and others. Smith Garage Equipment, Inc. from Lexington, Kentucky, is identified as the authorized regional distributor for this equipment. The procurement includes comprehensive services such as delivery, installation, and training, with the primary objective of modernizing the district's automotive program and ensuring compliance with state and federal workforce preparation standards. Procurement documents will be posted on VendorLink on December 2, 2025, with responses due by December 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. The notice indicates that interested vendors may submit alternative or equal product proposals with supporting documentation, and all responses must be submitted through VendorLink, accompanied by a completed Single/Sole Source Acknowledgement Form.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The system is designed to integrate with existing equipment configurations and is intended as a one-time purchase pending School Board approval. The estimated annual expenditure for this procurement is $99,000.00. Vendors must provide company registration information, Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), E-Verify number, and contact details as part of their submission. The notice allows for potential protests to be filed within the timeframe prescribed by Florida Statute 120.57(3). While Smith Garage Equipment, Inc. is the intended sole source vendor, the document suggests openness to alternative proposals that can demonstrate equivalent capabilities and meet the district's technical requirements for automotive technology training equipment.
