Velocity Custom Boss Short and Long Rugby Shirts with No Pocket on the Sleeve

The City of Orlando's Procurement and Contracts Division is conducting a sole source procurement (Solicitation Number S25-0030) for the Orlando Police Department to acquire custom Velocity Custom Boss Short and Long Rugby Shirts. The specific procurement involves Ranger Green rugby shirts with no sleeve pocket, part number VS-BRNP-RG, available in sizes Small through Double Extra Large. The procurement is structured as a sole source acquisition with Velocity Systems LLC identified as the exclusive provider, though the city is allowing a seven-calendar-day period for alternative suppliers to challenge this designation. Interested vendors must submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities directly to Tracie Brown, Purchasing Agent II, via email at tracie.brown@orlando.gov by Friday, November 1, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The procurement is specifically for the Orlando Police Department and covers custom rugby shirts that are not available through standard dealers or distributors. The evaluation criteria appear to focus on vendors' ability to provide equivalent products matching the precise specifications of the Velocity Systems LLC rugby shirts.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The sole source notice does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or specific vendor classifications. While Velocity Systems LLC is currently the identified exclusive vendor, the procurement process allows for potential alternative suppliers to demonstrate equivalent capabilities. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be a targeted acquisition for the Orlando Police Department's specific uniform requirements, with Velocity Systems LLC currently positioned as the sole identified source for these custom rugby shirts. The seven-day challenge period provides a transparent mechanism for other potential vendors to prove they can meet the department's exact specifications, though no additional details about potential alternative vendors or their qualifications are included in the procurement documents.
