No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget allocation or award value range is provided. The single source justification is listed as "NO VALUE," indicating that no alternative sources have been identified for these specialized products and services. The Collier County Procurement Services Division and the requesting department retain sole authority to determine whether to designate the purchase as a single source, and their decision is not subject to objection, protest, or appeal. This Notice of Intent represents a notification period rather than a formal request for proposal or pricing, designed to allow qualified respondents an opportunity to demonstrate the availability of competing vendors for the identified ultrasound equipment and services.
