Sole Source Notification of Site Specific-Engineered Teledyne Flowmeter System

The City of Orlando's Streets and Stormwater Department is seeking to procure a site-specific engineered Teledyne Flowmeter System through a sole source procurement process. The specific opportunity, identified by Sole Source Number S25-0227, involves purchasing and installing a specialized flow monitoring system from Accutech Instrumentation Inc dba Instrument Specialties Inc. The procurement covers automatic water/wastewater sampling equipment, including flowmeters, samplers, rain gauges, connecting cables, associated hardware, and operational and flow management software. The solicitation was posted on February 5, 2025, with a response deadline of February 10, 2025, and provides a seven-calendar-day window for alternative suppliers to challenge the sole source designation. Interested vendors must submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capability documentation directly to the Purchasing Agent, Cindy Jordan. The procurement is specifically for Orange County and the City of Orlando, with Teledyne ISCO certified as the sole manufacturer of the required equipment.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. Accutech Instrumentation, Inc. is identified as the authorized exclusive Teledyne ISCO Sales Representative and Distributor for Florida (with some territorial exclusions), with their sole source authorization valid until November 30, 2025. The sole source letter from Teledyne ISCO covers distribution rights for the equipment in specific geographic regions, including Florida. While no explicit budget range is provided in the documentation, the technical specificity of the flowmeter system suggests a potentially complex and high-value procurement. The opportunity is open to any supplier who can demonstrate equivalent product capabilities, with the primary evaluation criteria being the ability to provide a comparable site-specific engineered Teledyne Flowmeter System that meets the technical requirements of the Streets and Stormwater Department.
