About this opportunity
Hillsborough County intends to award sole-source procurement to EFE, INC. for purchase and installation of three GR Manufacturing Forestry Packages for John Deere 5120M Tractors, with a challenge deadline of September 17, 2026 and likely award thereafter.
This is a sole-source procurement under Section 3-205(2)(e) of the County's Procurement Policy, justified by EFE, INC.'s status as authorized John Deere dealer and sole source provider of agricultural and turf parts, sales, and service for the County's existing fleet. The notice is not a competitive solicitation; instead, interested parties may submit challenges demonstrating bona fide competition exists if they contest the intended award.
Each forestry package includes a cab guard, upper structure, perimeter guard, limb risers, universal rear screen, side screens, heavy duty grille guard, factory freight, and installation. These packages are required by the Fleet Management Department to provide operator protection while conducting operations in heavily forested and brush-filled areas on the existing John Deere 5120M tractors.
The estimated total cost is $26,850.00 for the one-time purchase and installation of all three packages. The County reserves the right to extend timelines, adjust scope of services in response to changing conditions, and increase the award amount accordingly. Challenges must be submitted through the EUNA Procurement system by the September 17 close date. Absent timely challenges, award will be made following the close date.
