Sole Source- Eosense

Florida Gulf Coast University is conducting a sole source procurement for proprietary CO2 sensors from Eosense to support environmental monitoring at the Buckingham Environmental Forensics Facility in Florida. The procurement is justified under the university’s Regulation 6.025 due to the unique, non-commercially available nature of the equipment, which offers specialized capabilities in data collection, power sourcing, and environmental resilience that are not duplicable by any other supplier. The solicitation was posted on May 12, 2026, with a required response deadline of May 14, 2026, allowing suppliers only 48 business hours to submit a quote. No competitive bidding is possible because the technology is exclusively manufactured and distributed by Eosense, as confirmed by the supplier’s affirmation that the product is not sold by any other company. The place of performance is firmly designated as the FGCU facility in Florida, though no FOB terms, delivery schedule, or payment details are specified. The contract does not include formal FAR clauses, packaging or marking requirements, inspection criteria, or contracting officer representative information. While the procurement is structured as a sole source under FAR 6.302-1, no financial value, accounting codes, invoicing method, or technical performance standards are defined in the available documentation. Respondents are required to complete a simplified certification form covering supplier information, product uniqueness, and verification that no alternative sources exist, with submissions expected electronically. No small business, socioeconomic, or entity identification details are required or provided, and no formal evaluation weighting or scoring criteria are applied, as the award is based exclusively on the proprietary nature of the product.
