Single Source for Durr Systems SDA Lances

The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Protection Management (EPM) department is seeking a single source procurement for replacement parts for the Waste-To-Energy (WTE) Facility, specifically eight (8) SDA Lances manufactured by Durr Systems, Inc. This procurement is unique because Durr Systems is the sole manufacturer and distributor of these specialized nozzle components, holding the patents and exclusive design drawings. The procurement is being conducted through a Single Source Certificate of Conditions and Circumstances, with a project number of 26-X-00246. The critical nature of these Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts necessitates direct procurement to ensure satisfactory equipment repairs and maintenance. The procurement opportunity is located in Hillsborough County, Florida, with a posted date of November 7, 2025, and a response deadline of November 14, 2025. Vendors must be authorized manufacturer's distributors or dealers capable of providing quotes, warranty service, maintenance, and repairs for the Turbo Sonic pollution control system components.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The estimated annual cost for these replacement parts is $30,000.00, to be charged to account line 41400-240500-552004. Vendors must meet extensive insurance requirements, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, Cyber Liability, and Pollution Legal Liability. Durr Systems, located in De Pere, Wisconsin, is positioned as the incumbent and sole potential vendor for this procurement due to their exclusive manufacturing status. The existing infrastructure involves the WTE Facility's pollution control system, which requires these specialized SDA Lances for continued operational effectiveness. Key personnel involved in the procurement process include the WTE Plant Manager, Chief of Administration, and Audit & Contracts Supervisor, who will review the procurement for compliance with organizational policies, procedures, and legal requirements.
