Purchase of CEM Smart6 Moisture Analyzer

The City of Orlando’s Water Reclamation Enterprises is procuring a CEM Smart6 Moisture Analyzer under sole source justification, solicitation number S26-0416, with a response deadline of May 4, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET. The acquisition is non-competitive because CEM Corporation is the exclusive domestic supplier of the analyzer, which utilizes patented iPower™ technology protected by U.S. Patent #4,835,354, along with proprietary accessories including the Intelli-Temp Calibrator and CEM Communicator software, making it impossible to obtain an equivalent product from any other source. The procurement is being conducted under a public notice period of seven calendar days, during which other vendors may challenge the sole source determination by submitting product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities exclusively via email to [email hidden]. The place of performance is Orlando, Florida, with delivery expected to the City’s facility at 32801, and acceptance will be conducted by the City’s Procurement and Contracts Division upon receipt. No contract value, pricing details, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or payment instructions are specified in the documentation. The procurement does not include formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, packaging standards, or accounting codes, and no contracting officer, COR, or COTR is identified. While CEM Corporation is named as the supplier, its UEI, CAGE code, size status, or socioeconomic certifications are not provided. The solicitation is classified as a sole source action without a formal contract type designated, and all submissions are restricted to email, with no alternative submission methods authorized or referenced.
