NoFlood Filter

The City of Oviedo in Seminole County, Florida, is conducting a Public Notice of Intent to Single/Sole Source Purchase Request for Information (RFI) focused on procuring NoFlood Filters for stormwater inlet filtration products under the Storm Drain Protection Act. The procurement covers fiscal years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, spanning the period from August 28, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The RFI, issued on August 28, 2025, requires responses by September 19, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. EST, with submissions accepted electronically or via hand-delivery to the City of Oviedo Purchasing Division. The primary objective is to verify if the specifications are nonrestrictive and determine if multiple companies can provide the specified commodity. NoFlood Filters have been identified as the sole source provider, with key qualifications including FDEP approval, proven laboratory performance in pollutant capture, American manufacturing, verified flow rates, superior comparative performance, cost-effectiveness, enhanced durability, and FDOT approval.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The RFI explicitly invites prospective respondents who believe they can provide equivalent products to submit information demonstrating their capabilities, with the understanding that pricing should not be included until specifically requested. The Storm Drain Protection Act emphasizes that NoFlood Filters meet and exceed environmental regulations, performance standards, and cost-efficiency requirements, with the ability to capture a comprehensive range of pollutants including nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, and microbial contaminants. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the document, the procurement suggests a focus on stormwater management infrastructure for the specified fiscal years. The competitive nature of the RFI indicates that the city is open to alternative solutions that can meet or exceed the performance characteristics of the NoFlood Filters, provided they can demonstrate equivalent or superior capabilities.
