Sole Source for Petersen Industries

The City of Fort Myers is issuing a sole‑source notice to award a contract for truck parts to Petersen Industries. Because the warranty on the parts would be voided if another supplier were used, the city is invoking Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c) to negotiate directly with the identified vendor. No formal bids or proposals are required; interested suppliers may submit product information, qualifications, or capabilities via the vendor questionnaire by the deadline. The procurement window is short (15 days), and the Purchasing Agent must be notified by email. This opportunity is best suited for firms that supply or can demonstrate capability to provide identical truck parts and wish to be considered for future competitive procurements. • Product/Service: Truck parts for municipal fleet • Sole‑source justification: Warranty protection • Deadline for information submission: September 7 2026, 8:00 AM ET • Contact: Denise Finn, Procurement Manager ([email protected], (239) 321‑7242) • No formal bid required; submit via vendor questionnaire if you can match the product • Posting active for 15 calendar days from August 20 2026 • Potential for future competitive opportunities if the city decides to open the market
