About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Fort Myers Procurement Division is issuing a notice of intent to award Vac-Con equipment, parts, and service as a sole source to Aquatech under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c), with responses due September 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET. The sole source justification is that manufacturer warranty coverage will be voided if equipment or parts are obtained from any other supplier.

This is not a formal solicitation and no submissions are required. The notice functions as a pre-award challenge period allowing any supplier capable of providing equivalent Vac-Con equipment, parts, and service to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities through the vendor questionnaire by the September 7 deadline. Responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether the City should conduct a competitive procurement instead; they will not be treated as proposals, bids, or quotes.

Interested alternative suppliers must contact Purchasing Agent Denise Finn by email at dfinn@fortmyers.gov within the fifteen-calendar-day posting window. The notice does not specify contract value, term, renewal options, or service scope details beyond equipment and parts supply tied to the Vac-Con product line.
