Sole Source Purchase of Stryker Medical Products and Services

Alachua County Fire Rescue is issuing a notice for a sole source procurement to acquire various Stryker medical products and related services, including power-LOAD and power-PRO stretchers, stair chairs, LUCAS chest compression systems, LIFEPAK defibrillators, and maintenance services. The justification for this single source approach is based on Stryker Medical being the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of these products, with proprietary designs that only fit Stryker-specific equipment such as cot stretchers. Stryker's certification as the original equipment manufacturer and its use of OEM parts and proprietary diagnostic tools further reinforce the necessity of a sole source acquisition, ensuring product compatibility, quality, and reliable service. The procurement process is set under solicitation number SS-ITA 25-562-MM, with a posting date of August 25, 2025, and a response deadline of September 15, 2025. The contract value is estimated to range between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The project is managed by Mandy Mullins, who can be contacted via email or phone for further information. The purchase aligns with the NAICS code 423710, which pertains to medical, dental, and hospital equipment and supplies, and is part of California's Alachua County Fire Rescue operations. The procurement portal provides additional details and documentation related to this sole source purchase.
