Western Shelter Systems Electrical Distribution Kit and Power Panel

The City of Orlando, acting on behalf of the Orlando Fire Department, is conducting a sole source procurement (S26-0274) for Western Shelter Systems Electrical Distribution Kits and related accessories designed for public safety emergency response applications. The specific deliverables include two Electrical Distribution Kits (WSEDK50), four Cord Assemblies (WS-50A504-PS), one Portable Power Distribution Panel (WSPPDP400), one Portable Power Distribution Stand (WSPPDST), and one set of Cam-Lock Pigtails (PA-ELCBCLPT4050). Western Shelter Systems has been identified as the exclusive manufacturer of these proprietary GateKeeper line products, which are engineered as complementary systems with customized integrated subcomponents. All products are manufactured using certified materials and components compliant with standards established by NFPA, FDA, NIOSH, and UL. The Notice of Intent to Award Sole Source was posted on February 13, 2026, with a response deadline of February 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, providing a seven-calendar-day window for alternative suppliers to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and evidence of capability to provide equivalent products or services to the Purchasing Agent (tracie.brown@orlando.gov). Interested suppliers must submit responses by email only to be considered.

This procurement contains no set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting competition to specific organization types; however, the sole source nature of the posting inherently limits the award to Western Shelter Systems as the identified exclusive source unless alternative suppliers successfully challenge the designation during the seven-day posting period. Western Shelter Systems LLC (Tax ID# 33-3090204) is the incumbent and sole identified vendor for this equipment, with sales directed by Jorge O. Ortiz, Sales Director, at jortiz@westershelter.com or 1-787-340-4042. The equipment will be supplied EXW (Ex Works) from Western Shelter Systems' Eugene, Oregon facility with an estimated shipping timeline of 6-8 weeks from purchase order acceptance. The total quoted price for all equipment and freight is $21,761.73, with payment terms of Net 30 days and a one-year warranty against defects and workmanship from the date of manufacture. The quotation is valid through May 16, 2026, with freight estimates valid for 14 days from the quote date of January 16, 2026, and all orders are non-cancellable and non-refundable once accepted.
