Intent to Single Source – Parts and Service for AMI Turbiwell Analyzers

The City of Tampa's Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) Plant is pursuing a single-source procurement for parts and service related to AMI Turbiwell analyzers. This procurement is specifically for replacement units, parts, and maintenance of specialized scientific instruments used to measure compliance turbidity and monitor sensor probes. Swan Analytical USA has been identified as the exclusive manufacturer and sole source provider for these critical water treatment measurement equipment components in the state of Florida. The procurement is focused on securing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts, maintenance, repair services, field service, and technical support for the existing analyzer infrastructure. The contract opportunity was posted on February 18, 2025, with a noted due date of February 5, 2025, which appears to be an administrative error, and covers Hillsborough County, Florida. The primary objective is to ensure continued operational compatibility and maintain the integrity of the plant's existing measurement systems through direct manufacturer support.

The procurement appears to be a restricted single-source contract with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises. Swan Analytical Instruments is the only vendor authorized to provide these specialized services, effectively eliminating competitive bidding for this specific procurement. The existing infrastructure at the Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant is entirely configured with Swan AMI Turbiwell analyzers, necessitating a vendor-specific solution. While specific budget or award values are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement covers replacement units, parts, service, and technical support for critical water treatment measurement equipment. The contract is limited to Swan Analytical USA, which has been confirmed as the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of these instruments in Florida, with no alternative vendors permitted to sell products, perform repairs, or provide technical support. Contact information for further inquiries is provided, including Swan Analytical USA's main office number (847-229-1290) and a direct contact number for Jaime Soto (941-504-6835).
