About this opportunity

Sarasota County is pursuing a sole source procurement with Fluid Control Specialties LLC for the purchase of Tideflex, RKL, Red Valve products and related accessories, including original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair parts and maintenance. The procurement specifically covers check valves for pipeline systems used in stormwater and tidal water applications, with a primary objective of preventing roadway flooding in tidal environments. The contract is structured for a three-year period from June 5, 2025, to June 4, 2028, with a projected annual expenditure of $75,000. The solicitation was released on April 24, 2025, with a deadline for questions on April 28, 2025, and a final response deadline of April 29, 2025, at 5:00 pm. Electronic submissions must be made through the county's secure procurement portal, with strict requirements that respondents must be authorized by DeZURIK Inc. to sell these specific products and services within Florida's municipal market.

The procurement is explicitly restricted to vendors authorized by DeZURIK Inc., with Fluid Control Specialties LLC confirmed as the sole authorized manufacturer's representative for DeZURIK and associated brands (including APCO, Hilton, Willamette, Red Valve, Tideflex, and RKL) across Florida's municipal markets. The county retains the right to cancel the sole source procurement if other vendors can demonstrate the ability to supply substantially similar products or services. The contract has a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000, with the procurement covering specialized valve products known for their low maintenance requirements, long operational life, and improved sealing capabilities through a patented Curved Bill design. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The incumbent vendor, Fluid Control Specialties LLC, has been selected based on their exclusive authorization from DeZURIK Inc. to distribute these specific products throughout Florida's counties.
