Purchase of LMX100 Portable GPR

The City of Orlando's Water Reclamation Enterprises department is pursuing a sole source procurement for an LMX100 Portable Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system through Sole Source Number S25-0421. The procurement is specifically targeting the purchase of a specialized GPR device from Green Equipment Company, which has been identified as the exclusive authorized distributor for this product. The solicitation was posted on May 9, 2025, with a response deadline of May 19, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Potential alternative suppliers are invited to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities to Purchasing Agent Varun Desai via email (varun.desai@orlando.gov) during a seven-calendar-day active posting period. The procurement covers jurisdictions including Orange County and the City of Orlando in Florida, with the specific objective of acquiring a high-precision GPR system for municipal infrastructure assessment and analysis.

The solicitation appears to have no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Green Equipment Company is confirmed as an authorized distributor by Radiodetection, LLC through a vendor authorization letter valid through December 31, 2025, which covers distribution rights in multiple states including Florida. The vendor letter confirms Green Equipment Company's authorization to distribute Radiodetection and Sensors and Software branded LMX100 and LMX200 GPR systems, and establishes them as a factory-authorized service and repair facility. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement is for a single LMX100 Portable GPR system. The manufacturer, Sensors & Software Inc. (a Radiodetection subsidiary), is identified as the sole manufacturer of the specified GPR systems, which may limit competitive alternatives for this specific technology.
