Purchase of DeNora Water Technologies Vacuum Regulators

The City of Orlando, located in Orange County, Florida, is seeking to procure DeNora Water Technologies Vacuum Regulators through a sole source procurement process identified by Sole Source Number S26-0168. The procurement is being administered by the Water Reclamation Enterprises Department and specifically involves purchasing vacuum regulators from TriNova Inc., which has been designated as the exclusive authorized representative for De Nora products in the Florida region. The procurement notice was posted on November 24, 2025, with a firm submission deadline of December 1, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. During this seven-calendar-day period, alternative suppliers are invited to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities to the Purchasing Agent, Varun Desai, via email at varun.desai@orlando.gov. De Nora Water Technologies has justified the sole source designation based on being the original equipment manufacturer, offering unique repair services using original manufacturer parts, and maintaining ISO 9000 standard testing protocols.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The procurement does not disclose a specific contract value or budget range for the vacuum regulators. TriNova Inc., located in Lakeland, Florida, is the incumbent and proposed sole vendor for this procurement. While no integration requirements are detailed, the procurement suggests that the vacuum regulators are intended for use in the City of Orlando's water infrastructure systems. The sole source procurement process allows the city to proceed with TriNova Inc. as the designated supplier unless alternative qualified vendors can demonstrate equivalent capability to provide the DeNora Water Technologies Vacuum Regulators during the seven-day notification period. The procurement appears focused on maintaining specialized equipment compatibility and leveraging the manufacturer's exclusive regional representative.
