RainBird Exclusive Corporate Purchasing Agreement

The Villages Community Development Districts is issuing a sole‑source procurement notice to establish an exclusive corporate purchasing agreement for Rain Bird golf‑irrigation products and related services. The district has identified Florida Irrigation Supply, Inc. as the sole authorized distributor but is inviting any contractor who can demonstrate the ability to provide equivalent OEM equipment, technical support, and warranty coverage to submit a written response. Responses will be evaluated to determine whether a competitive procurement is required; no formal bids or proposals are being solicited at this stage. • Products include central control systems, controllers, rotors, valves, pumps, and installation materials for Rain Bird golf‑irrigation systems. • Supplier must be an authorized Rain Bird distributor or provide documented capability to supply equivalent OEM components and warranty support. • Submission deadline: September 4, 2026, 3:00 PM via the OpenGov procurement portal or mailed to the Purchasing Office. • Required submission items: company name, address, point of contact, phone, email, and a detailed statement of capability with supporting documentation (technical qualifications, authorization letters, warranty information, etc.). • Responses reviewed within 15 business days; the district may proceed with a sole‑source award or decide to open a competitive process.
