Sole Source with Endress+Hauser/Carotek

This sole source procurement by the Department of Watershed Management (DWM) in Dekalb County, Georgia, involves the acquisition of parts and calibration services for flowmeters located at three wastewater treatment plants: Snapfinger, Pole Bridge, and Scott Candler. The procurement is designated exclusively to Endress+Hauser/Carotek, Inc., and no competitive quotes are being requested as part of this procurement process. The deliverables include the supply of necessary flowmeter parts and the provision of calibration services to maintain operational efficiency at the specified treatment facilities. This notice was posted on December 7, 2020, with the same date serving as the final deadline, indicating that this announcement was informational in nature rather than an open solicitation. The primary objective is to ensure continued functionality and accuracy of flowmeter equipment at critical wastewater treatment infrastructure. No evaluation criteria, specific qualifications, or site visit requirements are detailed in this notice, as the selection of the vendor has already been determined on a sole source basis.

As a sole source procurement, this opportunity is restricted exclusively to Endress+Hauser/Carotek, Inc., with no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or other organizational classifications applicable. The incumbent vendor is identified as Endress+Hauser/Carotek, Inc., indicating that this vendor is already the established provider for these specialized flowmeter parts and calibration services. The notice indicates that the equipment in use at the three wastewater treatment plants requires integration with Endress+Hauser's existing technology and service infrastructure. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the procurement documentation. The justification for sole source selection appears to be based on the specialized nature of the flowmeter equipment and the necessity for compatibility with existing systems at the treatment facilities. This procurement represents a continuation of service relationships rather than an open competitive opportunity for new vendors.
