Keen Pumps

The City of Sanford, Florida is pursuing a single-source procurement for a blanket contract with PSI Technologies for specialized water and wastewater infrastructure equipment. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of hydraulic and pump-related products, including KEEN Submersible Grinder Pumps, WILO Submersible Pumps, mixers, split case pumps, Bermad Hydraulic Control Valves, Air Valves, Flow Meters, Blueribbon Pressure Transmitters, Level Sensors, and Pressure Gauges. The contract is structured for a one-year term, with a specific expiration date of February 27, 2025. The procurement follows Florida Statutes sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), which mandate a public posting period of at least seven business days to allow potential alternative suppliers an opportunity to demonstrate comparable capabilities. The single-source justification is predicated on PSI Technologies being the exclusive sales distributor for Wilo USA LLC, with authorization for new product purchases, OEM repair parts, repairs, maintenance, and technical support in the designated service area.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents beyond the single-source requirement with PSI Technologies. Wilo USA LLC, a subsidiary of Wilo SE, is positioned as the sole provider of pumps and mixers in the United States, with PSI Technologies serving as their exclusive sales distributor since October 1, 2018. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the breadth of equipment covered suggests a potentially significant procurement value. The contract encompasses comprehensive product and service offerings, including sales, repairs, maintenance, and technical support. The procurement process is designed to be transparent, allowing for potential challenges or alternative vendor demonstrations during the required public posting period, thereby ensuring competitive fairness within the constraints of the single-source justification.
