Intent to Single Source for Mixer Systems, Inc DustMASTER Ash Mixer System Parts and Equipment

The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management is pursuing a single-source procurement for replacement parts and equipment from Mixer Systems, Inc. for their DustMASTER Ash Mixer System, specifically for their Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility. The procurement targets direct manufacturer replacement parts for two existing ash mixers, with the primary objective of minimizing costs, standardizing equipment, and maintaining plant operational efficiency. Vendor qualifications include being an authorized manufacturer's distributor or dealer capable of providing quotes, warranty service, maintenance, and repairs for the specific DustMASTER equipment. The procurement requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Worker's Compensation. The intent to single source was posted on June 23, 2025, with a submission deadline of June 26, 2025, providing a very short window for potential vendor responses. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to provide the specified goods and upload documentation proving their authorization to sell the equipment.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement appears to be exclusively focused on Mixer Systems, Inc. as the sole source provider for these specific ash mixer system parts, effectively limiting competitive bidding. The current infrastructure involves two existing DustMASTER ash mixers at the WTE Facility, with the city seeking to maintain compatibility and operational consistency. While no specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the documents, the procurement is targeted at replacement parts and equipment for an existing system. The sole source letter references a specific serial number (S/N 4402-21) and previous purchase order (PO# 121207035), suggesting this is a continuation of an existing equipment relationship. Contact information for Steve Dankmeyer, the Parts, Materials, & Customer Service Director at Mixer Systems, Inc., was provided to facilitate future parts and service requests.
