Notice of intent to single source tampa truck center LLC

Collier County, Florida is issuing a Notice of Intent to Single Source to Tampa Truck Center LLC for the provision of medium and heavy-duty truck parts, supplies, repairs, services, diagnostic services, and associated freight to support county-owned fleet units. The procurement covers equipment powered by Freightliner, Western Star, Sterling, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel platforms and requires OEM and aftermarket parts availability, certified technician services, proprietary diagnostic capabilities, and factory-authorized repairs. The contract period is February 20, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Tampa Truck Center is designated as the sole vendor because it is the only authorized Freightliner and Western Star dealership in the region with certified capability to provide OEM parts, warranty repairs, proprietary diagnostics (including restricted-access platforms such as Cummins INSITE and Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link), and factory-authorized service necessary to maintain manufacturer warranty compliance and emissions regulations. The county determined that no other local vendor can legally or technically provide the required combination of manufacturer certifications, proprietary diagnostic software access, certified technicians, and direct manufacturer support. Parties wishing to contest the single source designation must submit responses through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System by February 25, 2026 at 3:00 a.m., and all responses must include the completed Intent to Single Source Response Form with detailed documentation demonstrating the availability of qualified alternative sources.

This procurement contains no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on respondent organization types, though the technical and manufacturer certification requirements inherently limit eligible vendors to authorized dealers with restricted-access proprietary systems and factory certifications. Tampa Truck Center LLC is identified as the incumbent vendor and the sole designated source for this contract. The procurement notice does not specify a pricing value or budget range for the contract period. Radoslava Edreva, Assistant Director of Procurement Services for Collier County, serves as the primary contact for inquiries regarding this single source designation and can be reached at radoslava.edreva@collier.gov or (239) 252-8374. The Collier County Procurement Services Division retains sole determining authority over approval of any contested designations submitted by the February 25, 2026 deadline.
