Notice of intent to single source endress + hauser INC

Collier County, Florida's Procurement Services Division issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source (PUR 15910) on February 9, 2026, for the procurement of Endress + Hauser Inc. products and services. The procurement encompasses Endress + Hauser Promag Electromagnet Flow Meters, Analyzers, Level Transmitters, replacement parts, and associated service support, which are identified as critical electrical devices necessary for maintaining compliance and meeting customer demand. The submission deadline for written objections to the single source designation is March 3, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with responses required to be submitted online through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/collier-county-fl. If approved, the single source designation would establish a five-year contract term effective from March 3, 2026, through March 2, 2031. No bidder's conference or site visit is referenced in the solicitation. Interested parties who disagree with the proposed single source designation are invited to submit written objections with supporting documentation demonstrating the existence of qualified alternative sources prior to the March 3, 2026, deadline. The Procurement Services Division and requesting department retain sole authority to determine the validity of the single source designation, and their decision is final and not subject to objection, protest, or appeal.

This Notice of Intent to Single Source does not constitute an invitation to bid or provide pricing, and therefore does not identify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or specific award values or budget ranges. The procurement is specifically designated for Endress + Hauser Inc. as the sole source vendor, which represents the existing incumbent or established technology partner for these critical systems. No evaluation criteria for competitive proposals are applicable, as this is a single source procurement allowing only for objections to the designation rather than competitive submissions. The document does not provide information regarding any minority or disadvantaged business enterprise requirements or restrictions on respondent qualifications, as those elements are typically associated with competitive solicitations rather than single source procurements.
