Purchase of Goulds Pump Bare Shaft Pump-Model 3410

The City of Orlando's Procurement and Contracts Division is conducting a sole source procurement for a Goulds Pump Bare Shaft Pump-Model 3410, targeting the Water Reclamation Enterprises Department. The specific solicitation, numbered S26-0224, was issued on January 9, 2026, with a submission deadline of January 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Hudson Pump & Equipment has been preliminarily identified as the exclusive source for this specialized pump equipment. The procurement notice invites alternative suppliers to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities if they believe they can provide an equivalent product or service. Potential respondents must communicate directly with Varun Desai, the designated Purchasing Agent, via email at varun.desai@orlando.gov, with all submissions required within the seven-calendar-day active posting period.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendor details beyond Hudson Pump & Equipment are provided, and the notice lacks specific information regarding award values, budget ranges, or precise technical integration requirements. The sole source notice appears focused on establishing an open opportunity for alternative suppliers to challenge the current vendor's exclusive status. While the procurement is specifically for Orange County and Orlando City jurisdictions in Florida, no detailed qualifications or evaluation criteria beyond the ability to provide an equivalent pump are specified. The procurement process emphasizes direct communication with the Purchasing Agent and relies on potential suppliers to self-assess and demonstrate their capability to meet the technical specifications of the Goulds Pump Bare Shaft Pump-Model 3410.
