Single Source Provider for Phonak and Roger hearing aid parts and repair

This is a notice of intended single source procurement by the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) for Phonak and Roger brand hearing aid parts and repair services for fiscal year 2024-2025. FSDB is seeking a sole source provider for these commodities and services, with an estimated not-to-exceed dollar amount of $19,999.99. Phonak U.S. is the intended sole source, as they are the manufacturer and only U.S. provider of Roger products, and they are the only entity equipped and trained to provide ongoing service and maintenance for these products. The justification for single source procurement cites Phonak's exclusive manufacturing and service capabilities for the required products and services. No other sources exist for Phonak and Roger hearing aid parts and repair, and using an unauthorized service provider would invalidate the product warranties. The public notice is published to comply with statutory requirements, and vendors that believe they can fulfill this need are requested to provide information on their ability to do so within the 15-day advertisement period.

This is not a competitive solicitation, but rather a notice of FSDB's intent to enter a single source contract with Phonak U.S., the only provider of the required Phonak and Roger hearing aid parts and repair services. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a sole source procurement. The current incumbent vendor is Phonak U.S., and FSDB requires the continued use of Phonak's exclusive service and repair capabilities to maintain the integrity and warranty compliance of the Phonak and Roger hearing aid equipment and accessories.
