Alternate Product Submission for Thermocouple Supply

Contractors are invited to submit technically equivalent alternate thermocouple models as alternatives to the specified product, provided they include full justification and a detailed comparison demonstrating equivalence in performance, durability, and compliance with required specifications. The solicitation, issued under NAICS code 334519 by the Florida Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management, allows for substitution only if the proposed alternatives meet or exceed the functional and technical criteria of the originally specified thermocouples, with supporting documentation to validate suitability for the intended environmental monitoring applications. Submissions must be received by May 12, 2026, at 9:00 PM Eastern Time, and the opportunity is open as a subcontract under a procurement process managed through the City of Tampa’s public procurement portal. There is no set-aside designation, and responses are expected to include comprehensive technical evaluations to ensure alignment with operational needs in waste and environmental programs.
