Alltrack, Inc.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) is initiating a single source procurement process for fire fighting equipment from Alltrack, Inc., as detailed in solicitation SS-10540. This procurement is not a request for bids or proposals but is a mandated fifteen-business-day advertisement to identify if any other vendors can provide the specified commodities or services. The department has identified a specific need for the Alltrack AT-50HD Track Carrier and Fire Skid Unit, which are uniquely suited for Florida Forest Service operations, and the justification for single sourcing is based on statutory requirements under Florida law. The estimated contract value ranges from $500,000 to $1,500,000, with an initial justification document citing the specialized design and operational compatibility of the equipment. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit relevant information by October 29, 2024, for consideration. If no alternative sources are found, the department will proceed with entering into a contract with Alltrack, Inc., and will publicly announce its decision on the Vendor Information Portal. The procurement process is managed by Nita Jackson, a Government Analyst II, and further details can be accessed through the Florida Marketplace portal.
