Intent to Single Source AVEVA Software LLC (PI System®)

The City of Tampa is pursuing a single-source procurement for AVEVA Software LLC's PI System, specifically for the Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility, with procurement identification number 25-X-00864. This direct acquisition is critical for maintaining EPA and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FLDEP) compliance in waste management operations. The procurement will be conducted through the city's online supplier portal, with Erin Ellis serving as the Procurement Analyst. The PI System software provides comprehensive operational support, including 365-day, 24/7 technical support via phone, email, and web, along with software upgrades and access to technical support resources. The procurement requires vendors to submit documentation proving authorization to sell the product, with detailed insurance requirements including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, Cyber Liability, and Pollution/Asbestos Legal Liability. The intent to single source was posted on March 12, 2025, with a stated due date of March 11, 2025, though this appears to be a chronological discrepancy that would need clarification.

The procurement appears to be a direct, non-competitive acquisition specifically targeted to AVEVA Software LLC as the sole provider of the PI System software. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the documentation. The software is unique to AVEVA, with the company confirming it is the sole developer, licensor, and provider of the PI System and associated Software Reliance Program (SRP). AVEVA is identified as a Delaware limited liability company with a business address in Lake Forest, California, and has provided a tax ID number of 47-2573795. While no specific award value or budget range was explicitly stated, the procurement is focused on critical infrastructure software necessary for the WTE Facility's operational compliance.
