Notice of intent to single source pioneer manufacturing company, INC.

Collier County's Procurement Services Division has issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source Pioneer Manufacturing Company, Inc. for synthetic turf field paint to be used on county-owned turf fields. The procurement specifically targets six RoboStripe paint variants in white, red, blue, yellow, orange, and black for a five-year period from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2030. This single source procurement is being conducted under Collier County's Procurement Ordinance 17-08, which allows for directed procurement when standardization, warranty, or other factors justify a sole source selection. The submission deadline is August 19, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with vendors invited to challenge the single source designation by providing documentation of alternative qualified sources. Responses must be submitted through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System, with the division retaining sole discretion in evaluating potential alternative sources.

The notice does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, nor does it provide details about incumbent vendors or specific infrastructure requirements. The procurement is not a commitment to purchase or a request for pricing, but rather an opportunity for potential vendors to demonstrate alternative qualified sources for the specified synthetic turf field paint products. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the documentation. Vendors are explicitly instructed to focus on proving the existence of alternative qualified sources rather than submitting pricing information. The single source approach suggests a strong preference for Pioneer Manufacturing Company, Inc.'s specific product line, indicating a potentially sole-source procurement if no viable alternatives are presented during the challenge period.
