Justification of Sole Source Acquisition from Vapex Environmental Technologies

The City of Clermont is seeking confirmation that the Vapex Radical Odor Control System—an exclusive, patented wastewater odor control and disinfection technology—cannot be sourced from any other vendor. This RFI serves as a justification for a sole‑source purchase and invites any vendor who can demonstrate an equivalent capability to submit technical information (no pricing) by the deadline. The city estimates an annual spend of $80,000 for this system and requires that all repairs and major service be performed by Vapex or an authorized representative to retain warranty coverage. • Sole‑source justification for a patented hydroxyl‑radical odor control system. • Estimated annual expenditure: $80,000. • Deadline for technical responses: October 20, 2026 3:00 PM (electronic submission). • No pricing required; only capability evidence is requested. • Responses will be reviewed by Procurement Services and the requesting department; a competitive solicitation may be issued if a qualified alternative is identified.
