Intent to Single Source Yokogawa Parts and Service

The City of Tampa Wastewater Department is pursuing a single-source procurement for Yokogawa Parts and Service under solicitation number 25-X-01107. The procurement is specifically seeking an authorized Yokogawa distributor or dealer capable of providing product quotes, warranty service, maintenance, and repairs. Potential vendors must demonstrate their official authorization to sell and service Yokogawa products, with a comprehensive insurance requirement that includes Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, Cyber Liability, and Installation Floater coverage. Vendors are required to provide proof of insurance with specific minimum limits and name the City of Tampa as an additional insured. The solicitation was posted on April 17, 2025, with a due date of April 23, 2025, and requires vendors to confirm their ability to provide the requested goods or services by uploading documentation proving their authorized vendor status for Yokogawa products. The procurement is located within Hillsborough County, Florida, and targets specialized technical parts and service capabilities for wastewater department equipment.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are directly identified in the documentation. The procurement appears to be focused on technical capability and authorized vendor status rather than small business or disadvantaged enterprise preferences. While a specific award value is not disclosed, the comprehensive insurance requirements and specialized technical nature suggest this is a potentially significant contract for Yokogawa parts and service. The single-source approach indicates a specific need for a vendor with precise technical qualifications and direct manufacturer authorization. The requirement for vendors to demonstrate their ability to provide comprehensive parts, service, warranty, maintenance, and repair suggests a potential multi-year or ongoing service commitment from the selected vendor.
