About this opportunity

Sarasota County is pursuing a sole source procurement for replacement parts and accessories for Little Tikes playground equipment located in county parks, with Playworx Playsets, LLC as the intended vendor. The procurement is structured as a three-year contract covering the replacement and maintenance of existing playground equipment components. The solicitation was posted on February 10, 2025, with a deadline for questions on February 13, 2025, and a final response deadline of February 14, 2025, at 5:00 pm. Responses must be submitted electronically through the ProcureNow portal. The county has specifically identified Playworx Playsets of Marietta, Georgia as the only authorized representative for Little Tikes Commercial Play Equipment in Florida, based on correspondence from PlayPower LT Farmington, Inc. dated February 1, 2025. The procurement allows for potential competitive solicitation if other respondents can demonstrate the ability to supply equivalent or substantially similar products and services. The evaluation will primarily focus on the vendor's capability to provide precise replacement parts compatible with existing Little Tikes playground equipment in Sarasota County parks.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Playworx Playsets, LLC is currently the incumbent and sole-source vendor, with no indication of competitive alternatives identified in the documentation. The procurement appears to be limited to a specific vendor due to their unique access to authorized replacement parts for the existing playground equipment. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated, the three-year contract suggests a strategic approach to maintaining playground infrastructure. The procurement is managed by the Sarasota County Office of Financial Management, with Sofia Salazar serving as the procurement specialist and primary point of contact. The sole source nature of the procurement implies a specialized supply arrangement that prioritizes equipment compatibility and maintenance continuity over competitive pricing.

Opportunity text

Sarasota County intends to renew a sole source procurement with Playworx Playsets, LLC for the provision of replacement parts and accessories for existing Little Tikes playground equipment at County parks for a period of three years.

In the event respondents demonstrate the ability to supply the same or substantially similar products and/or services, the County may, in its sole discretion, elect to cancel this sole source and advertise a competitive solicitation.
