Request for Information: ABB Inc. – Switchgear Engineering, Maintenance, Retrofits, and Replacement Parts

Broward County Port Everglades has issued a Request for Information under solicitation number BLD6232026F20 to determine if switchgear engineering, repair, maintenance, retrofits, and replacement parts for thirteen ship-to-shore cranes at the Southport berths can be sourced from providers other than ABB Inc. This sources-sought inquiry is intended to evaluate market availability and determine if a sole source or sole brand designation for ABB Inc. is appropriate. The primary objective is to ensure equipment uniformity, parts continuity, and interchangeability across the crane fleet using industry-standard switchgear product lines. This process is strictly a request for information and does not constitute a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. Interested vendors must submit their capabilities and responses to the provided questionnaire through the electronic bidding system by the deadline of September 29, 2026. The scope of work specifically covers the provision of electrical systems, spare parts, and professional engineering services for the designated cranes located in Florida.
