Notice of Intent To Single Source Evoqua Water Technologies LLC

Collier County, Florida, through its Procurement Services Division, has issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source Evoqua Water Technologies LLC for water and wastewater treatment systems and related technologies. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of specialized odor control systems, supporting chemicals, components, and services for installation at Master Pump Stations, Submaster Pump Stations, and Water/Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The specific technologies include Envirex and Davco branded solutions such as Rim-Flo and Tow-Bro Circular Clarifiers, Chain and Scrapers Systems, Rotating Biological Contractors, Gravisand Traveling Bridge Filters, and numerous other advanced water treatment technologies like VoCarb, MIDAS, AKTIVOX, and various chemical solutions. The single source procurement is intended to run from July 3, 2025, to September 30, 2029, without competitive bidding. Potential vendors who believe they can provide alternative qualified sources are required to submit documentation through Collier County's Online Bidding System by July 11, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with explicit instructions not to include pricing information.

The notice does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Evoqua Water Technologies LLC is positioned as the sole source provider, with the procurement focusing exclusively on their proprietary technologies and solutions. The justification for the single source designation appears to be based on the specificity and unique nature of Evoqua's water treatment technologies. While no specific award value or budget range is provided in the document, the comprehensive scope of the procurement suggests a significant investment in water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The Procurement Services Division retains sole discretion in evaluating any alternative source submissions and determining whether to maintain the single source status. The procurement appears to be tailored specifically to Evoqua's technological capabilities, indicating a highly specialized and technical requirement that may limit competitive alternatives.
