Sole Source: Carl Eric Johnson Inc. , Moyno and Grundfos Pumps

The City of St. Petersburg, Florida is conducting a sole source procurement for Moyno and Grundfos pump products, parts, and field service under Solicitation SS-25-206. The procurement specifically identifies Carl Eric Johnson Inc. (CEJCO) as the sole authorized and exclusive municipal distributor for these pump products in Florida. The goods include Grundfos Multi-Stage CR & CM Pumps, Dosing/Disinfection Pumps and Skids, Booster Package Systems, Controls & Communication, Motors & Drives, Submersible Well Pumps, and Axial & Mixed Flow Pumps, as well as Moyno products manufactured by NOV (National Oilwell Varco). The solicitation provides a seven-business-day window for alternative suppliers to demonstrate their capability to provide comparable products or services by submitting product information, qualifications, and capabilities to the Procurement Analyst. The response deadline is May 6, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with the opportunity originally posted on April 25, 2025. Potential vendors must submit a vendor questionnaire indicating whether they can provide similar products/services and upload supporting documentation.

The procurement does not explicitly mention any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Contact information for key vendor representatives is provided, including Cliff Allen from CEJCO (813-952-4423, callen@cejco.com) and Jeffrey Barnsdale from Grundfos (jbarnsdale@grundfos.com, +1 281.961.2858). The solicitation emphasizes that NOV is the only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of Moyno products worldwide, and alternative parts are considered replicated and do not meet NOV's standards. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the documents, the procurement appears focused on establishing a sole source relationship for specialized pump equipment and services for municipal water utility applications. The geographical scope covers Florida, with potential extensions to neighboring states like Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee for Moyno products.
