Intent to Single Source - Varec Biogas System Parts, Units, and Factory Service

The City of Tampa Wastewater department is pursuing a single-source procurement for Varec Biogas System Parts, Units, and Factory Service, identified by solicitation number 25-X-01333. This specialized procurement is specifically targeting replacement parts, units, and factory service for Varec Biogas systems located within Hillsborough County, Florida. The procurement will be managed by Kristie Maciejewski, a Procurement Analyst located at 2555 E Hanna Avenue in Tampa. Potential vendors are required to confirm their ability to provide the requested goods or services and upload documentation proving they are an authorized vendor for the product/service. The solicitation includes comprehensive insurance requirements for vendors, which encompass Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, Cyber Liability, and Pollution/Asbestos Legal Liability. The procurement has a tight timeline, with the intent to single source posted on May 27, 2025, and responses due by May 30, 2025, providing vendors with a brief window to submit their qualifications and documentation.

The solicitation appears to be a non-restricted procurement without explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The single-source nature of the procurement suggests that only authorized Varec Biogas system vendors can participate, which inherently limits competitive bidding. While specific budget ranges or award values are not detailed in the provided documentation, the specialized nature of the procurement indicates a targeted, potentially high-value contract for critical wastewater infrastructure components. The procurement focuses on maintaining existing Varec Biogas system infrastructure, which implies the city seeks to ensure continuity of service and compatibility with current technological systems. Vendors will need to demonstrate not only authorized status but also the capability to provide comprehensive parts, units, and factory service for these specialized biogas systems. The procurement's focused approach suggests a strategic maintenance and replacement strategy for the City of Tampa's wastewater infrastructure.
