Purchase Lift Station Odor Control Equipment

The City of Orlando, through its Water Reclamation Enterprises division, has issued a sole source solicitation (S25-0532) dated August 5, 2025, for the purchase of lift station odor control equipment. The equipment must be procured exclusively from In-Pipe Technology, the only known provider with proprietary technology designed to treat noxious gases, particularly hydrogen sulfide, emitted from wastewater lift stations. This exclusivity is supported by a sole source justification letter from In-Pipe Technology dated May 29, 2025, which affirms that no other companies or authorized resellers in Florida offer comparable odor control solutions. The procurement notice invites other suppliers who believe they can supply equivalent products to submit qualifications and product information by August 12, 2025, via email to the designated Purchasing Agent, Varun Desai, but no alternative providers have been confirmed. The contract is expected to be a firm-fixed-price type though this is not explicitly stated. The documents do not include detailed pricing information, technical standards, evaluation criteria, or delivery schedules beyond the solicitation and submission deadlines. The arrangements specify that equipment delivery and acceptance will occur within Florida, but detailed inspection or performance metrics are not provided. Standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses are absent, reflecting the sole source nature of the procurement under FAR 6.302-1. Communications and submissions are managed through the City of Orlando’s Procurement and Contracts Division with Varun Desai as the primary point of contact. Overall, the procurement focuses on directly acquiring the proprietary odor control system from In-Pipe Technology based on the exclusive availability and proprietary nature of the solution, with provisions allowing other potential suppliers to submit credible information within a limited timeframe.
