Medical Grade Oxygen

Collier County's Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Management Division are seeking a qualified vendor to supply medical grade oxygen for emergency response and ambulance operations. The procurement requires a supplier capable of providing various pressurized oxygen tank sizes ranging from D to T-size cylinders, with comprehensive delivery, retrieval, and maintenance services. The vendor must perform regular periodic inspections, hydrostatic testing, and maintain the capability for both scheduled weekly deliveries to primary stations in Naples and emergency deliveries during disasters or mass casualty events. Key requirements include maintaining all necessary certifications, including Florida Department of Rehabilitative Services and FDA certification, and providing three 24-hour emergency contact persons. Vendors must submit quote responses by January 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM through the county's online procurement portal, with questions accepted until January 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM. The evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive vendor, with pricing proposals required to include detailed line-item breakouts for refill pricing, concentrator rentals, hazmat fees, delivery charges, tank rental, and hydrostatic testing.

The contract opportunity appears open to all vendors meeting the specified qualifications, with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide proof of E-Verify registration, Florida Sunbiz registration, and a completed W-9 form. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including Workers' Compensation coverage per Florida Statutes, Employer's Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Commercial General Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence with a $2,000,000 aggregate, and Automobile Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence. The county must be named as an additional insured on all general liability policies. The estimated annual spending for this procurement is approximately $12,000, with the purchase order intended for recurring services through September 30, 2026. No exceptions to the county's standard purchase order terms and conditions will be accepted, and all goods will be delivered FOB destination. The total contract value suggests this is a relatively modest procurement focused on ensuring reliable medical oxygen supply for emergency medical services.
