L45 12V Power Supply for Center-Hung Display

The City of Orlando, located in Orange County, Florida, is pursuing a sole source procurement for a specialized L45 12V Power Supply for the Kia Center's center-hung display. Specifically, the procurement seeks a power supply with precise technical specifications: 12V, 90-264 VAC, and 1000W, exclusively from Daktronics, Inc. The procurement is designated with Sole Source Number S25-0363 and was posted on April 11, 2025, with a response deadline of April 17, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The procurement allows for a seven-calendar-day period during which alternative suppliers can submit product information, qualifications, or capabilities to demonstrate their ability to provide an equivalent product. The primary contact for this opportunity is Lindsey Hladik, Procurement Agent II from the Orlando Venues department, who must be notified via email at lindsey.hladik@orlando.gov. While Daktronics is currently identified as the exclusive source, the procurement process remains open to potential competitive sources that can prove comparable capabilities.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The documentation indicates this is a highly specialized technical procurement with very specific equipment requirements for the Kia Center's display system. The current incumbent and proposed sole source vendor is Daktronics, Inc., which has submitted a proprietary technology letter confirming the exclusive nature of their components. The existing infrastructure involves the center-hung display at the Kia Center, which requires this specific 1000W power supply. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documents, the procurement appears focused on a precise technical replacement part rather than a large-scale contract. The opportunity is structured to allow potential alternative suppliers to challenge the sole source status, though the technical specificity suggests Daktronics may remain the most likely vendor for this specialized power supply.
