Notice of Intent to Award a Single/Sole Source Procurement for the Assmann Chemical Storage Tanks

The City of Port Orange is issuing a Notice of Intent to Award a sole-source procurement for Assmann Chemical Storage Tanks under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c), with a posted date of September 23, 2026 and an immediate due date for interested-firm responses on the same date. This is not a competitive solicitation; rather, the City is verifying whether alternative authorized dealers can meet the requirement before proceeding with a direct award to Odyssey Manufacturing with Coastal Reliability Solutions.

The City has determined that Odyssey Manufacturing with Coastal Reliability Solutions is the only authorized dealer for Assmann Chemical Storage Tanks with approved business locations serving the Peninsular and Oldsmar Florida service areas. Firms wishing to challenge this determination must be authorized Assmann dealers and must submit written responses including firm name, address, point of contact, telephone number, email, and clear and convincing documentation of their capability to provide the specified tanks and serve the required geographic areas. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted; they will not be treated as proposals, bids, or quotes.

No contract value, specific tank specifications, quantities, or contract term details are provided in this notice of intent. The procurement proceeds under the sole-source authority granted by Florida statute when a service is determined to be available from only one source. Following the verification period, the City intends to negotiate and execute a contract directly with the named vendor.
