Sole Source- Mopec Group

Florida Gulf Coast University is procuring the Pathcam HR mobile imaging station and its associated subscription service on a sole source basis from Mopec Group, the exclusive U.S. manufacturer of this specialized mobile laboratory imaging system. The procurement is justified under University Regulation 6.025, which requires a formal determination that the product is uniquely available from a single source due to its proprietary design and the necessity of direct manufacturer support, including mandatory training and ongoing service access. The device cannot be sourced from any other vendor, and market research confirmed no alternatives meet the university’s technical and operational requirements. The solicitation was posted on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of May 14, 2026, requiring offerors to respond electronically through the university’s procurement portal within 48 business hours, submitting completed certification forms that detail supplier information, product uniqueness, manufacturer confirmation, and investigation of alternative sources. The place of performance is designated as the State of Florida, though no specific facility or delivery address is provided. The contract does not include pricing details, payment terms, invoicing instructions, accounting data, or formal contract type specifications, indicating this document serves as a justification and pre-award solicitation rather than a fully executed agreement. No inspection, acceptance, packaging, or marking requirements are defined, and no Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses are incorporated into the document. Contract administration personnel, including a designated COR, COTR, or PCO, are not identified, and no formal evaluation factors, weights, or competitive scoring mechanisms apply due to the sole source nature of the award. The supplier, Mopec Group, is not required to provide a UEI, CAGE code, or socioeconomic certifications, and the procurement does not involve set-aside provisions or socioeconomic preferences. Submission is electronic only, requiring completion of a specified certification form with sections addressing supplier details, product uniqueness, and vendor exclusivity, accompanied by supporting documentation uploaded through the online portal.
