Sole Source for Pat’s Pump & Blower for Aquatech Vac-Con Equipment, Parts and Service to Maintain Manufacturer Warranty Requirements

The City of Fort Myers is issuing a sole‑source notice to procure Vac‑Con equipment, parts, and related service from Aquatech in order to preserve the manufacturer’s warranty on existing pump and blower systems. The solicitation is not a formal bid; interested vendors may submit product information, qualifications, or capability statements by the deadline, but the city intends to negotiate directly with Aquatech. This is a short‑term procurement window (15 days) with a submission deadline of September 7, 2026. • Product: Vac‑Con pump and blower equipment, spare parts, and maintenance service. • Reason for sole source: Use of a different supplier would void the existing warranty. • Deadline for any response: September 7, 2026 (8:00 AM ET). • Contact: Denise Finn, Procurement Manager ([email protected], (239) 321‑7242). • No formal bid required; city will negotiate directly with the identified supplier.
