About this opportunity
Hillsborough County is pursuing a sole source procurement with Florida Coast Equipment, LLC for specialized maintenance, repairs, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts for Kubota branded equipment. The procurement is being conducted under Section 3-205(2)(e) of the County's Procurement Policy, with the contract covering a one-year period and an estimated total value of $238,200.00. The scope includes comprehensive maintenance services for various Kubota equipment models from 2013-2024, including utility vehicles, mowers, tractors, and associated machinery. Pricing is structured with hourly labor rates ranging from $110 to $190 per hour depending on equipment type, and includes an $80,000 allowance for parts and miscellaneous expenses. The county requires the vendor to maintain local repair facilities, employ factory-trained technicians, provide preventive and corrective maintenance, and ensure minimal equipment downtime. Potential contractors who believe they can provide substantially similar services must submit challenges through the EUNA Procurement platform by November 6, 2025, with clear and convincing evidence to support their claim.
The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of set-aside designations or enterprise requirements, with Florida Coast Equipment positioned as the sole authorized Kubota equipment vendor for Hillsborough County. The vendor's servicing branch is located in Plant City, FL, which provides geographic proximity and quick response capabilities. The contract emphasizes the vendor's unique qualification as the only authorized provider of direct manufacturer maintenance, services, parts, and warranties for existing Kubota equipment. Hillsborough County reserves the right to extend the contract period, adjust service scope in response to changing conditions, and potentially increase the award amount. The total contract value of $238,200.00 represents the estimated annual expenditure, with potential for renewal or expansion based on the county's ongoing equipment maintenance needs. The procurement specifically targets comprehensive equipment support, including field and shop services, parts supply, and maintenance for the county's fleet of Kubota-branded machinery.
