Paratech Products

The City of Orlando, through the Orlando Fire Department, is conducting a sole source procurement (S26-0313) for specialized ParaTech rescue and rigging equipment from Team Equipment. The procurement involves ten distinct product line items totaling a comprehensive suite of advanced firefighting and rescue apparatus, including a Bipod Conversion Kit 14CF1, Clutch 13 MM 12CE10, 12.5MM WorkPro Orange 300' synthetic rope, CMI Med Stainless Steel Rigging Pulley RP105, XL Steel Locking Alloy Screw-Lock, ALB Basic Control Kit 14GC4, Multiforce G3 Compact unit, and two 180 KPI-1 ALB and 180 KPI-5 ALB rescue frames with varying specifications. The procurement was posted on March 4, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 11, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the notice will remain active for seven calendar days to allow competing suppliers to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capability documentation. All submissions must be sent exclusively by email to Tracie Brown, Purchasing Agent II, at tracie.brown@orlando.gov. To date, Team Equipment has been identified as the exclusive source for these ParaTech products; however, any supplier capable of providing equivalent products or services is invited to challenge the sole source designation during the seven-day posting period.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or small business preferences are indicated in the available procurement documentation. The solicitation does not restrict participation based on organizational type or status, allowing any qualified supplier to submit alternative proposals during the notice period. Team Equipment has been identified as the current incumbent vendor and exclusive source for the ParaTech products specified in this procurement. The documentation does not disclose specific contract award values, budget ranges, pricing information, contract terms, or renewal options. The procurement appears designed to ensure the Orlando Fire Department obtains compatible rescue and rigging equipment that meets operational requirements while providing an opportunity for competitive alternatives to be evaluated during the mandatory seven-day notice period.
