About this opportunity
Lee County and the City of Fruitville, Florida are pursuing a sole-source procurement for sales, parts, and repair services for Vac-Con truck trailers and asphalt recycling equipment, with proposals due September 7, 2026. The sole-source approach is justified by manufacturer warranty requirements — Vac-Con stipulates that parts warranties are available only through authorized dealers, and all maintenance and repairs must be performed by Vac-Con, its authorized dealers, or company employees to preserve warranty coverage; switching vendors or equipment types would void warranty protections and necessitate significant capital reinvestment.
Southern Sewer Equipment Sales is designated as the exclusive authorized Vac-Con dealer for sales, parts, and service throughout Florida (excluding the Florida Panhandle), with service locations in Fort Pierce, Orlando, Doral, and Jacksonville. The awardee must provide parts availability, service delivery, and maintenance across this four-location network to support the City's fleet operations and maintain equipment functionality without disruption.
The justification establishes that Southern Sewer Equipment is the sole qualified provider capable of delivering parts, repairs, and maintenance services while preserving manufacturer warranty requirements and ensuring compatibility with the City's current Vac-Con fleet. The procurement protects the municipality's capital investment in wastewater and asphalt recycling infrastructure by eliminating the need for fleet replacement or alternative vendor qualification in a regional market lacking viable alternative suppliers for this specialized equipment.
A sole-source authorization letter from Vac-Con, Inc., dated July 21, 2026, confirms the designated supplier relationship and the manufacturer's warranty structure requirements.
