Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source Procurement for Audubon 21 Gallon Double Trash/Recycling Bin

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority is awarding a single-source contract for Audubon 21-gallon double trash and recycling bins manufactured by DeepStream Designs, Inc., with a notice of intent to award posted September 17, 2026 and a response deadline of September 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. This is a sole-source procurement under Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c) and GOAA Policy 450.03 with no competitive bidding.

DeepStream Designs is the sole-source manufacturer of the receptacle product line currently installed in Terminal C. GOAA requires the new bins to match existing installations throughout the North Terminal to maintain standardized airport furnishings, consistent appearance, color, finish, and overall design aesthetic. GOAA has determined that no other manufacturer can provide the exact product necessary to meet its standardization requirements; procurement from an alternate vendor would create inconsistencies in appearance and design between terminals and require management of multiple receptacle standards across airport facilities.

The estimated contract value is $207,500 not to exceed, with a one-year term. Payment terms require a 50 percent deposit with order and the balance due within 30 days of delivery. Place of performance is the North Terminal at Orlando International Airport. The procurement was initiated by the Facilities Department on August 3, 2026, with the needed date of August 28, 2026. The single-source determination received approvals from the Department Approver (Jeff Daniels), Purchase Manager (Olimpia Lonsdale), and CFO (Marie Dennis) as of August 12, 2026, and was posted for public comment on August 26, 2026. For purchases under $250,000, the Chief Executive Officer has discretionary authority to proceed with the single-source award; board approval is required only for purchases exceeding that threshold.
