Sole Source with TSC Jacobs Florida

Brevard County is pursuing a sole source procurement with TSC Jacobs Florida, LLC for OEM replacement parts and maintenance services related to Universal Blower Pac (UBP) blower systems used by the Utility Services Department. The procurement specifically covers replacement filters, gauges, blowers, and ancillary parts for UBP blower systems, with TSC Jacobs Florida designated as the exclusive representative, service agent, and maintenance source for these products throughout Florida. The Notice of Intended Decision was posted on January 14, 2026, with a response deadline of January 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. The county will accept alternative proposals from respondents who believe they can meet or exceed the stated requirements, requiring them to provide comprehensive technical documentation supporting their capability. The procurement process allows for potential cancellation and conversion to a formal solicitation if other vendors can demonstrate substantially similar product and service capabilities. Contact for additional information is Heather Riley, who can be reached at 321-617-7390 or heather.riley@brevardfl.gov.

The sole source justification appears to be exclusively available to TSC Jacobs Florida, LLC due to their unique relationship with UBP as the authorized representative for blower system parts and services in Florida. No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement does not specify a contract value, duration, or renewal options. The sole source determination is based on UBP's exclusive supplier status and TSC Jacobs' authorized agency relationship, which effectively limits competitive bidding. The county's procurement approach requires extensive documentation and approval from multiple administrative levels, including certifications from the requisitioner, department director, purchasing manager, and county management to ensure compliance with Florida Statutes Chapter 838 regarding non-competitive procurements. The notice indicates that the county is seeking a direct replacement parts and maintenance solution for existing UBP blower system equipment, with an emphasis on standardization and specialized departmental needs.
