Intended Sole Source Purchase of ZOLL AED Plus, AED Cabinet and Pedi Pads from Rayneri Group dba Miami First Aid

Alachua County Board of County Commissioners intends to award a sole source contract to Rayneri Group dba Miami First Aid for the supply of ZOLL AED Plus automated external defibrillators, including fully automatic units, large cabinets with alarms, and pediatric pads. The justification for this single-source approach is that Rayneri Group is the exclusive distributor for these products within the region, making them the only authorized supplier capable of fulfilling the county’s requirements. The procurement process is designed to streamline acquisition through this sole source method, ensuring the county receives the specified AED equipment directly from the authorized distributor. The contract is valued at approximately $68,479, with the solicitation posted on December 11, 2024, and responses due by January 6, 2025. The procurement falls under the NAICS code 921120, which pertains to legislative and executive offices, indicating a government-related purchase. The project is managed by the Risk Management division in California, with a primary contact named Precious Merriweather.
