Brevard County Board of County Commissioners, specifically the Utility Services Department, is pursuing a sole source procurement with Barney's Pumps for rebuild kits for backwash pump diaphragms in the equalization basin. The procurement focuses on addressing high-pressure leakage issues with Pentair brand equipment, which could potentially cause significant damage to discharge piping and connections if not remedied promptly. The sole source notice will be posted on Vendor Link from 08/22/2025 at 12:00 pm until 08/27/2025 at 12:00 pm, during which time potential respondents can challenge the sole source designation by providing technical evidence demonstrating their ability to meet or exceed the requirements. The procurement has a Sole Source ID of 4770822 and is being managed by Heather Riley at the county's Viera location. The county reserves the right to cancel the sole source notice and pursue a formal solicitation if viable alternative suppliers are identified. The procurement appears to be exclusively available to Barney's Pumps, as they are identified as the only provider of parts and service for the Pentair brand equipment. Pentair has confirmed Barney's Pumps' exclusive status, and the justification form indicates there are no regional distributors for these specialized components. The annual purchase is estimated at $25,000.00, with the procurement focused on a specific rebuild kit that addresses technical specifications for the backwash pump's diaphragm system. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the documentation. The request has been digitally approved by multiple county officials, including Amanda Guido (Requisitioner), Brian Sorensen (Requesting Department Director), and Mary Bowers (Purchasing Manager). The sole source procurement underscores the specialized nature of the equipment and the critical need for precise, manufacturer-specific replacement parts.
