The City of Sanford, Florida is pursuing a single-source procurement for a Stryker 6507 Power Pro 2 High Configuration ambulance cot and related accessories for the Fire Department. The procurement specifically involves a stretcher system with comprehensive components including a battery charger, power cord, battery kit, bottle holder, cot upgrade, and MTS Power Load system. Stryker is identified as the sole manufacturer, with justification based on exclusive proprietary diagnostic tools, repair capabilities, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. The contract will be effective from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, with a public notice posting date of February 17, 2025, and an expiration date of March 3, 2025. The total contract value is $70,322.72, which includes $929.04 for freight and shipping, with no sales tax applied. The procurement follows Florida Statutes sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), which allows for a single-source purchase after public notice and potential review by other potential suppliers.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Stryker is positioned as the exclusive vendor for this specific ambulance cot model, effectively limiting competitive bidding. The procurement is specifically for the Sanford Fire Department and does not indicate opportunities for disadvantaged enterprises or alternative vendor participation. The existing infrastructure requirement centers on compatibility with the specified Stryker Power-PRO 2 ambulance cot (Model 6507), which has been certified by Stryker as having unique characteristics related to independent qualification, ease of use, and maintenance. The total procurement budget is precisely $70,322.72, with no indication of potential budget flexibility or additional funding allocations. No incumbent vendors are mentioned beyond Stryker, who is presenting themselves as the sole qualified manufacturer for this specialized medical equipment.
