Intent to Single Source - SWECO

The City of Tampa and Hillsborough County are pursuing a single-source procurement for specialized replacement parts and components for SWECO vibratory systems through solicitation number 25-X-01423, managed by the Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management division. The procurement specifically requires SWECO-authorized distributors or dealers to provide original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facility. Key deliverables include motion generators (specifically model EF5T46863N, a 460-volt/60 Hz/3-phase/1200 RPM motor) and screen channel gaskets (model S30W81104, a white TPE FDA-compliant component). Vendor qualifications include the ability to quote products, provide warranty service, maintenance, and repairs for these specialized components. The solicitation documents indicate a strict requirement for vendors to be authorized SWECO manufacturers' representatives, with a focus on procuring parts that cannot be sourced from alternative manufacturers. The intent to single-source was posted on June 11, 2025, with a submission deadline of June 16, 2025, and an estimated procurement value of $40,000.00.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, focusing instead on technical capability and authorized manufacturer status. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability Insurance (with $1M per occurrence and $2M general aggregate limits), Automobile Liability Insurance, and Worker's Compensation. Additional insurance requirements may include Excess Liability Insurance. The procurement is exclusively for SWECO-manufactured parts, indicating no alternative vendors can meet the technical specifications for the WTE facility's vibratory systems. The unique nature of the SWECO HP TENV Motion Generators, which are assembled only at SWECO facilities globally and do not conform to standard NEMA or IEC motor designs, further restricts potential competition. The procurement is specifically tailored to the unique equipment infrastructure of the McKay Bay WTE facility, with no indication of incumbent vendors beyond the manufacturer SWECO itself.
