About this opportunity

The City of Bradenton in Manatee County, Florida, is pursuing a sole source procurement for Kinetrol Effluent Actuators through the Water Treatment Facility's purchasing division. The specific procurement targets specialized actuators for effluent management, with Flotech identified as the intended sole source vendor. The city has posted a Notice of Intent to Award with an advertisement date of March 20, 2025, and a response deadline of March 27, 2025. Any potential alternative suppliers are invited to demonstrate equivalent product capabilities, with the city reserving the right to convert the procurement to a competitive solicitation if comparable alternatives can be substantiated. The procurement is specifically focused on Kinetrol equipment, with the justification grounded in the Water Treatment Facility's current operational infrastructure and Flotech's status as the sole municipal Kinetrol distributor for the State of Florida.

The procurement appears to have no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations, though the sole source nature suggests a highly specialized market. A supporting letter from Neil Meredith of Kinetrol USA confirms Flotech's exclusive municipal distribution status in Florida, which significantly narrows potential competitors. The procurement has a defined budget of $10,431.00 for the effluent actuators. The city's procurement approach allows for potential alternative suppliers to submit detailed information to the Purchasing Department for evaluation, potentially disrupting the sole source designation if comparable products can be demonstrated. The procurement is narrowly scoped to effluent actuators and is tied to the specific technological requirements of the Water Treatment Facility's existing Kinetrol equipment infrastructure.
