Notice of Intended Sole Source: Mechanical Services

Valencia College's Facilities Department has issued a Notice of Intended Single Source Purchase for planned preventative maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and operational support services for specialized HVAC and related mechanical equipment at the Culinary Department, Downtown Campus, under sole-source procurement SS 2026-39 pursuant to Florida Statute 287.057. The notice was posted June 15, 2026 and follows a seven business day posting process under Valencia College's Procurement Requirements of Goods and Services procedure.

The scope includes scheduled maintenance and inspections of reach-in refrigerators and freezers, walk-in refrigeration systems, ice machines, boilers, pumps, hot water systems, air scrubbers, and make-up air units; filter replacement and coil cleaning; refrigerant system checks; operational testing; preventative maintenance reporting; and emergency service support.

Mechanical Services of Central Florida, Inc. is identified as the sole source supplier. The College justifies the sole source designation on operational efficiency, service continuity, equipment familiarization, and standardization of maintenance practices — Mechanical Services is the existing HVAC maintenance and repair services provider under a continuing services agreement, and utilizing the same vendor for the Culinary Department's specialized systems ensures consistency in maintenance practices, streamlined service coordination, reduced downtime, and improved operational efficiency.

The total contract cost is $190,699. No specific contract term, renewal options, site visits, pre-bid conference, or response deadline is detailed in the notice.
