SS-26-001 - R&M Sandblasting Booth and Dust Collection System

The Department of Military Affairs for the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center (CBJTC) in Starke, Florida, is conducting a single-source procurement (Solicitation SS-26-001) for comprehensive repair and maintenance services for a Sand Blasting Booth and Dust Collection System located in the Allied Trades Shop. The procurement involves detailed technical services including replacement of breathable air systems, dryer systems, and air compressor maintenance, with specific requirements for replacing dust collector filters, rebuilding pulse valves, installing new door seals, and performing quarterly and annual equipment inspections. The solicitation targets a specific vendor, SurfacePrep, Delong Equipment Division, after multiple previous bidding attempts failed to generate competitive responses. The contract is set to run from 08/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, with vendors invited to provide information about their capability to supply required services. Key deadlines include a posting date of 07/14/2025 and a final date for receipt of information on 08/01/2025, with the government reserving the right to determine single-source procurement after reviewing submitted information.

The procurement appears to be exclusively targeted toward SurfacePrep, with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The estimated contract value will not exceed $200,000.00, and the procurement specifically requires new equipment and parts to be "of like kind" or manufacturer-approved. The existing infrastructure involves a Donaldson DFT 4-32 model dust collection system, with required replacement components including control packs, diaphragm repair kits, solenoid pilot valves, filter cover knobs, tubing, dust collector cartridges, and a complete breathing air replacement system. The solicitation was initiated by Jeff Collins, Professional Engineering Administrator for the Directorate of Public Works, and has received approvals from key personnel including Jennifer Adams from Resource Management and John Connor, Purchasing Director. The procurement is specifically for the Broward County jurisdiction within the state of Florida, focused on maintaining specialized military training center equipment.
