SEI International Sales, Inc.

This is a statutorily mandated 15-business day advertisement of an intended single source procurement by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). FDACS intends to procure a one-time purchase of SEI International Sales, Inc.'s Bambi Bucket, a collapsible firefighting bucket, and their Sacksafoam Bladder injection system, with a total estimated contract amount of up to $60,000. Prospective vendors have until March 7, 2024, at 11:30 AM to provide information to FDACS regarding their ability to supply these products. If FDACS determines after reviewing the information that the products are only available from a single source, it will post notice of its intended decision to enter into an agreement with SEI International Sales, Inc. The justification for the single source procurement is that the Bambi Bucket product line, including the manufacturing processes, documents, and designs, are exclusively proprietary to SEI Industries Limited and SEI International Sales, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer. This procurement will support the Florida Forest Service's efforts to provide fire management that reduces threats to life, property, forests, and other related wildland resources in accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapter 590, and the Florida Wildlife Aviation Plan.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is SEI International Sales, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer of the Bambi Bucket and Sacksafoam Bladder injection system. The budget range for this single source procurement is up to $60,000.
