Intent to Single Source for Quincy Compressor and Parts

The City of Tampa, acting on behalf of Hillsborough County, Florida, has issued an Intent to Single Source (ISS) procurement (Contract No. 26-X-01108) for Quincy compressors and related parts required by the David L. Tippin Water Production Plant. The procurement seeks genuine Quincy compressors and associated parts specifically designed for the facility's ozone generation equipment. The primary objective is to ensure safe and reliable operation of the water production plant's processes; according to the procurement documentation, utilizing alternative air compressors would require significant redesign and modification to the existing equipment footprint, resulting in substantial additional costs. Interested vendors must demonstrate their authorization status as vendors for Quincy compressor products and submit appropriate documentation confirming their ability to supply the specified equipment and parts. The procurement is being managed by Eryn Berg, Certified Procurement Analyst, at the City of Tampa's procurement office located at 2555 E Hanna Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33610, telephone (813) 274-8832. The deadline for vendor responses is April 27, 2026, with the opportunity posted on April 21, 2026. Additional procurement information and submission details are available through the City of Tampa's online supplier portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cityoftampa.

The documentation provided does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or preferences for particular types of organizations responding to this single-source procurement. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials. The procurement is structured around existing infrastructure at the David L. Tippin Water Production Plant, which currently utilizes Quincy compressors integrated into the ozone generation system; the single-source justification is based on the technical incompatibility of alternative compressors with this established equipment configuration. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement announcement. Vendors interested in this opportunity should contact the procuring office or access the City of Tampa's supplier portal for additional specifications and submission requirements.
