Intent to Single Source – Easy Laser Alignment Tool

The City of Tampa's Wastewater Department has initiated a single-source procurement opportunity for repair and calibration services specifically for an Easy Laser alignment tool. This contract opportunity, identified by the State Local Contract Opportunity ID 685ee79e453e55f5fa06949c, is located within Hillsborough County, Florida. The procurement appears to be a targeted, specialized service request focused on maintaining precision equipment critical to the department's operational capabilities. The solicitation was posted on February 18, 2025, with a response due date of November 4, 2024, indicating an extended procurement timeline. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the single-source designation suggests a narrow, potentially sole-provider approach to addressing the alignment tool's maintenance requirements.

Given the single-source nature of this procurement, traditional competitive bidding restrictions or disadvantaged enterprise considerations may not apply in this instance. The procurement appears to be narrowly focused on a specific technical service for a specialized piece of equipment, which might limit potential respondents. No incumbent vendor information or specific budget range is disclosed in the current documentation. The contract seems to be directly tied to the Wastewater Department's existing technological infrastructure, specifically targeting the repair and calibration of an existing Easy Laser alignment tool. The geographical scope is confined to Hillsborough County, Florida, which may further constrain the pool of potential service providers. Without additional details, the exact monetary value of the contract remains undefined, though it appears to be a targeted, technical maintenance service procurement.
