Notice of intent to sole source technology at work of swfl, INC.

Collier County Board of County Commissioners is pursuing a sole source procurement for Technology At Work of SWFL, Inc. to provide comprehensive car wash system maintenance and equipment services for its Fleet Management operations. The procurement covers preventive maintenance, repairs, parts, supplies, soaps, chemicals, and new equipment for a self-service car wash system located at 2901 Count Barn Rd, which serves multiple county departments including the Collier County Sheriff's Office. Specific equipment and services include Istobal Rollover Vehicle Wash Systems, GinSan and Etowah Valley Self Serve wash systems, JE Adams equipment (vacuums, air machines), Premier Drying systems, water reclamation systems, and various specialized car wash technologies. The procurement notice was released on March 7, 2025, with a submission deadline of March 14, 2025 at 3:00 pm, establishing a contract period from 3/7/2025 to 9/30/2028. Potential respondents have the opportunity to contest the sole source designation by providing documentation showing alternative qualified sources, though pricing is not requested at this initial stage.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. Technology At Work of SWFL, Inc. is being considered as the sole source provider due to being the closest local service provider and a full-service distributor for the vehicle wash industry in the South Florida Region. The company is positioned as the single source supplier for an extensive range of vehicle wash industry products, including specialized equipment from manufacturers like Mosmatic, Motor City, Petit, Cryptopay POS systems, and various wall and ceiling panel manufacturers. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement suggests a significant investment in maintaining the county's vehicle washing infrastructure. The final determination on sole source status will be made by the Procurement Services Division, with all responses required to be submitted through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System.
