Intent to Single Source – Parts, Products, and Services for Flygt Submersible Pumps

The City of Tampa is pursuing a single-source procurement for parts, products, and services related to Flygt submersible pumps, specifically for the Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) Plant and its associated pumping stations. The procurement focuses exclusively on obtaining replacement components, repair services, and pumps from Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc., which has been identified as the sole provider for these specialized equipment needs in the Florida region. The city has determined that standardizing on Flygt brand pumps will reduce operational costs and improve overall system reliability across more than 200 pump stations. The procurement documents indicate a strategic approach to maintaining consistent infrastructure by using a single manufacturer's equipment. The posted opportunity was initially released on January 23, 2025, with a due date of January 28, 2025, suggesting a relatively compressed procurement timeline. Key objectives include maintaining continuous operational capacity of wastewater treatment infrastructure through reliable, manufacturer-specific pump replacements and repair services.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly noted in the procurement documents. The opportunity appears to be a direct single-source procurement with Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc., which limits competitive bidding. The incumbent vendor is clearly Xylem, with a Federal ID of 45-2080074, and they are positioned as the exclusive provider of pump components and warranty services for this specific equipment in the region. While no specific budget range was disclosed, the procurement appears focused on maintaining existing infrastructure with standardized equipment. The procurement covers replacement parts, entire pump units, and associated repair services for an extensive network of over 200 pump stations within the Howard F. Curren AWT Plant's service area. The geographical scope is limited to Hillsborough County, Florida, with the City of Tampa as the primary procuring entity.
