About this opportunity

The City of St. Petersburg, Florida, is pursuing a sole source procurement (Solicitation SS-24-215) for four Dafo Vehicle Fire Suppression Systems through Lubecore Florida, LLC, specifically targeting solid waste fleet vehicles and equipment. The procurement focuses on acquiring 10-liter non-pressurized fire suppression systems with Forrex wet agent, featuring stainless steel nozzles, in-cab electronic displays, manual actuators, and fully automated fire detection capabilities. The system is designed to protect vehicles against total equipment loss due to fire or thermal events, utilizing a linear heat detector wire for early fire detection and rapid extinguishing. The solicitation was released on June 6, 2024, with a response deadline of June 17, 2024, at 3:00 pm, requiring electronic submission through the city's procurement portal. Key objectives include obtaining a flexible, fully automatic fire suppression system that can operate in extreme temperatures (as low as -50C) and effectively protect valuable municipal equipment from potential fire damage.

The procurement appears to be open to potential alternative suppliers, with the city providing a seven-business-day window for vendors to submit product information and qualifications if they can provide comparable fire suppression systems. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, the solicitation includes a vendor questionnaire for potential suppliers to demonstrate their capabilities. The current estimated value for a single system is $6,340.00, suggesting a total procurement value of approximately $25,360 for the four requested units. The Dafo Forrex system is already certified by multiple safety organizations including TUV, SBF, and FM, and has been used by major manufacturers like Volvo, Hyster, and Cargotec. The system offers additional benefits such as a strong cooling effect, film-forming properties to prevent re-ignition, pressureless container safety, and environmental friendliness, with the liquid agent specifically developed for combustible engine fires.
