Sole Source - CPUs needed for HMI to function

The City of Fort Myers is issuing a sole‑source notice to procure a central processing unit (CPU) for its emergency power switchgear system. The CPU is essential for the human‑machine interface (HMI) to operate, and a spare is needed because lead times for replacement parts can exceed 20 weeks. ABB Inc. has been identified as the exclusive supplier. While no formal bids are required, other vendors may submit product information, qualifications, or capabilities for consideration. The notice remains active for 15 days, with a submission deadline of November 6, 2026. • Product: CPU for emergency power switchgear (HMI support) • Supplier identified: ABB Inc.
