About this opportunity
Sarasota County is conducting a sole source procurement (Solicitation #2024-ISS-144) for replacement parts and accessories for Little Tikes playground equipment located in county parks. The procurement is specifically with Playworx Playsets, LLC of Marietta, Georgia, who is the exclusive authorized representative for Little Tikes Commercial Play Equipment in Florida. The solicitation seeks to renew the existing contract for a one-year period, with the potential to cancel and pursue a competitive solicitation if other vendors can demonstrate equivalent product capabilities. Key deadlines include February 23, 2024, for submission of questions and February 26, 2024, at 5:00 pm for final responses. Vendors interested in challenging the sole source designation must complete an Intent to Sole Source Response form and submit documentation through the electronic portal at https://secure.procurenow.com/portal/scgov. The county's objective is to ensure continuous access to specific replacement parts and accessories for existing playground equipment across county park facilities.
The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The incumbent vendor is Playworx Playsets, LLC, who has been the exclusive provider for these replacement parts since at least 2021. The current contract has an estimated annual expenditure of $50,000, with a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000 over the contract period. PlayPower LT Farmington, Inc. (formerly Little Tikes Commercial) has confirmed Playworx Playsets as their sole authorized representative for Florida through a letter dated February 8, 2024. The solicitation allows for potential alternative vendors to demonstrate equivalent product capabilities, which could result in a competitive solicitation if such evidence is successfully presented. The procurement is being managed by Sarasota County's Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Department, with Teri Stabler as the submitter and Shelia Roberson as the manager.
