The City of Orlando's Water Reclamation Enterprises department is conducting a sole source procurement for an Endress+Hauser ProMag W 500 Electromagnetic Flow Meter, with the specific solicitation identified as S24-0329. The procurement is targeted for Trinova, Inc., which has been confirmed as the exclusive authorized sales representative and distributor of Endress+Hauser products for the state of Florida. The solicitation was issued on April 1, 2024, with responses due by April 8, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). During a seven-calendar-day period, alternative suppliers are invited to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities if they believe they can provide an equivalent product or service. The procurement is being managed by Varun Desai, Purchasing Agent III, who can be contacted via email at varun.desai@orlando.gov. The key deliverable is a specific electromagnetic flow meter to be used in the Water Reclamation Division's Industrial Automation Group, with potential suppliers required to demonstrate technical equivalence and capability to meet the city's precise specifications.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Trinova, Inc. is positioned as the sole authorized vendor, with factory training and certification for on-site service of Endress+Hauser products. The company is located at 2401 Drone Field Road, Lakeland, FL 33811, with a main contact number of 863.682.4500. While a specific award value is not disclosed in the documentation, the procurement appears to be for a single electromagnetic flow meter. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests limited competitive bidding, with the city primarily seeking confirmation that no alternative vendors can provide an equivalent product. The procurement is specifically for Orange County and the City of Orlando, focusing on specialized industrial measurement equipment for municipal water infrastructure. Potential respondents must be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating product equivalence and technical capabilities within the seven-day response window.
