About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Fort Myers is announcing a sole-source intent to procure Freightliner heavy truck parts from Southport Truck Group under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c), with a notice-period deadline of September 7, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET. The City justifies sole-source acquisition on the grounds that using any supplier other than Southport Truck Group voids the manufacturer's warranty. This is a notice period only; no formal submissions are required, and responses will not be treated as proposals or bids but solely to determine whether competitive procurement should be conducted instead.

Interested suppliers who believe they can provide equivalent Freightliner heavy truck parts must submit product information, statement of qualifications, and capabilities through question #2 of the vendor questionnaire section by the September 7 deadline. The notice remains active for fifteen calendar days from August 20. Contact the Purchasing Agent, Denise Finn, by email at dfinn@fortmyers.gov or by phone at (239) 321-7242.

No contract value, term, scope of specific parts, or place of performance is identified in the notice.
