Intent to Single Source – Parts & Service for Andritz Centrifuges

The City of Tampa's Wastewater Department is pursuing a single-source procurement for replacement parts, components, and service technicians specifically for Andritz D7LLC60HPE2 Centrifuges. This contract opportunity, identified by the unique State Local Contract Opportunity ID 685ee7a3453e55f5fa06949e, is located within Hillsborough County, Florida. The procurement appears to be targeted at maintaining and supporting specialized wastewater treatment equipment through direct sourcing of parts and technical service. The intent to single source suggests this contract is designed for a specific vendor with proprietary expertise or exclusive manufacturing capabilities for these centrifuge systems. Key deliverables will likely include genuine Andritz replacement parts and on-site technical service for maintaining and repairing the centrifuge equipment. The solicitation was posted on February 18, 2025, with a response deadline of November 4, 2024, providing potential vendors substantial time to prepare their submissions.

While the documentation does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the single-source nature implies a very narrow scope of potential contractors. The procurement appears highly specialized, likely requiring vendors with specific manufacturer certifications or direct relationships with Andritz for centrifuge equipment. Given the technical complexity of wastewater treatment infrastructure, potential respondents will need demonstrated expertise in industrial centrifuge maintenance and repair. Although no specific budget range is provided, municipal wastewater equipment maintenance contracts typically represent significant investment, potentially ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the scope of parts and service required. The contract's focus on a specific equipment model (Andritz D7LLC60HPE2 Centrifuges) suggests this is a targeted maintenance and support agreement rather than a broad equipment procurement initiative.
