Sole Source - Southern Management LLC

Brevard County Board of County Commissioners issued a Notice of Intended Decision on July 15, 2026 for a sole-source acquisition of proprietary Spartan Reef Structures manufacture, delivery, and installation from Southern Management LLC for a marine habitat restoration project in the Banana River, with the response window closing July 20, 2026.

This is a sole-source procurement with no open competitive bidding. The five-day response window permits interested parties to submit technical data demonstrating capability to supply substantially similar products or services; Brevard County reserves the right to cancel the sole-source notice and issue a formal solicitation if comparable alternatives are identified. Southern Management LLC holds exclusive manufacturing rights to the Spartan Reef Structures, the basis for sole-source justification.

The Natural Resources Department is the requesting agency. The project is funded through a Coastal Conservation Association grant. The Brevard County Natural Resources office must receive all correspondence, directed to Heather Riley at 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, Room 303, Viera, Florida 32940 (telephone 321-617-7390, heather.riley@brevardfl.gov).

The sole-source justification form requires certification from the requisitioner, requesting department director, purchasing manager, and appropriate county management or the Board of County Commissioners based on contract value thresholds. All certifying officials must attest to review of Florida Statutes Chapter 838 regarding sole-source contracts and confirm no conflicts of interest with the selected vendor. Requestors must document alternative sources contacted and explain why they cannot fulfill the county's requirements.

No specific pricing, contract duration, renewal options, or estimated contract value are disclosed in the posted notice.
