About this opportunity
Sarasota County is conducting a sole source procurement for PAX Water Technologies water mixers and parts through Solicitation No. 2023-ISS-068. The procurement specifically seeks patented water mixers designed to eliminate thermal stratification, decrease ice formation, blend disinfectant, and maintain uniform chemical and temperature conditions in water storage tanks. The county's Public Utilities department requires these specialized mixers, which are covered under U.S. Patent No. 7,862,302, with PAX Water Technologies being the exclusive manufacturer and licensee. The solicitation was released on November 1, 2023, with a deadline for questions on November 3, 2023, and a final response deadline of November 6, 2023, at 5:00 pm. Responses must be submitted electronically through the ProcureNow portal, and the county allows potential alternative vendors to challenge the sole source status by completing an Intent to Sole Source Response form and providing documentation demonstrating equivalent product capabilities.
The procurement is not explicitly restricted to disadvantaged enterprises, but it does include standard county purchasing terms requiring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. The current infrastructure consists of an integrated system specifically designed to work with PAX Water Technologies mixers, meaning potential replacement would require extensive reengineering and potentially a complete system overhaul. The estimated annual expenditure is $30,000, with a total expenditure range not to exceed $150,000, and budgeted expenditures of up to $50,000 are authorized prior to further approval. The contract term is set for one year, running from 11/17/2023 through 11/16/2024, with the procurement classified under the Water/Wastewater division. PAX Water Technologies remains the incumbent vendor, and the sole source justification is predicated on their unique patent-protected technology and the significant integration challenges associated with alternative solutions.
Opportunity text
Sarasota County intends to renew a sole source procurement with PAX Water Technologies for the provision of PAX Water Technologies water mixers and parts.
In the event respondents demonstrate the ability to supply the same or substantially similar products and/or services, the County may, in its sole discretion, elect to cancel this sole source and advertise a competitive solicitation.
