Procurement Consulting Services

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is seeking a single source procurement for Procurement Consulting Services under solicitation 24-150-RFP-PS. The primary objective is to engage William D. Davidson to provide professional procurement services for a 12-month term, addressing critical staffing shortages within the Procurement Services department. Specific services will include sourcing, evaluating, advising, conducting specific procurement actions, and providing staff augmentation to manage approximately 30 solicitations within a 60-day period. The procurement is being conducted to prevent potential contract expirations and service interruptions. Responses are due electronically by October 26, 2023, at 4:00 pm through the e-Procurement Platform, with the solicitation released on October 11, 2023. The procurement will be authorized under GOAA Policy 450.03 and Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c), which allows for non-competitive procurement methods under specific circumstances.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned in the documentation. The single source procurement will be awarded at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer for purchases up to $250,000, or by the Aviation Authority Board for purchases exceeding that amount. The estimated contract value is $100,000, with a one-time purchase intended to address immediate staffing and procurement needs. Potential vendors are encouraged to submit responses demonstrating their capability to provide the requested services, with distributors and resellers advised to include manufacturer authorization statements. The procurement covers Orange County and Orlando City jurisdictions, specifically targeting the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's procurement requirements. While William D. Davidson is the proposed vendor for this single source procurement, the documentation suggests the possibility of alternative vendors if the proposed engagement does not meet the authority's needs.
