Sole Source w/TSC Jacobs North

Brevard County is pursuing a sole source procurement for replacement de-gritter blowers from TSC Jacobs North through the Utility Services Department. The specific procurement involves Universal Blower Pac blowers, which are critical components required for plant operational processes and cannot be substituted with alternative equipment. The procurement is being conducted under State of Florida Statute 287.057(5)(3)(c) and Brevard County Policy BCC-25 for sole source acquisitions. The Notice of Intended Decision was posted on January 3, 2025, with a procurement window open from 4:00 pm on 01/03/2025 until 4:00 pm on 01/07/2025, using Sole Source ID #4610103. The total procurement value is $24,898.00 for a one-time purchase of the blowers. Potential respondents are invited to provide technical data demonstrating their ability to meet or exceed the requirements, with the understanding that the county may cancel the notice and pursue a formal solicitation if substantially similar products can be supplied.

This sole source procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. TSC Jacobs North is identified as the exclusive provider, service agent, and aftermarket parts source for municipal products bearing specific trademarks in Florida, including Universal Blower Pac. The procurement is specifically for direct replacement parts that are not interchangeable with similar components from other manufacturers.
