Single Source Provider for Cochlear Americas hearing aid parts and repair

The State of Florida, specifically the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB), is procuring a single source provider for Cochlear Americas hearing aid parts and repair services for fiscal year 2024-2025. The estimated dollar amount not-to-exceed is $19,999.99, and the intended source is Cochlear Americas, located in Lone Tree, Colorado. The procurement is for Cochlear's registered trademark Nucleus, Baha, and Osia hearing aid parts and repair service, as Cochlear products are only sold by Cochlear and they are the sole source for these parts, accessories, and services for their institutional customers, of which FSDB is one. The procurement is not a competitive solicitation or request for bids, but rather a statutorily mandated fifteen-business day advertisement of the intended single source procurement. Vendors who believe they can fulfill this procurement are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the required commodities or services within the advertising period.

This procurement is restricted to Cochlear Americas as the sole source provider for the required Cochlear hearing aid parts and repair services. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor is Cochlear Americas, and FSDB requires integration with Cochlear's existing infrastructure and technology. The award value is not-to-exceed $19,999.99.
