The procurement is specifically focused on acquiring a pump from the Flygt AC brand, with Hudson Pump and Equipment Division of Tencarva identified as the exclusive municipal distributor. The notice, issued on December 22, 2023, invites potential alternative suppliers to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent products or services.

The primary contact for this solicitation is Varun Desai, Purchasing Agent III, who can be reached at varun.desai@orlando.gov or (407) 246-3874 within the Procurement and Contracts Division.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Xylem Inc. has authorized Hudson Pump and Equipment as the exclusive distributor for Flygt AC brand pumps, parts, and service repairs for the calendar year 2023. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the sole source documentation suggests this is a targeted procurement for a specific pump product. The additional contact for product-related inquiries is Chris Stanton, Channel Account Manager for Flygt and Flygt AC Products, who can be reached at chris.stanton@xylem.com or 412-605-9974. The procurement is focused on a municipal infrastructure requirement, likely for maintenance or replacement of existing pump systems, with a clear preference for the Xylem Flygt AC product line through its authorized distributor.
