Sole Source for Southport Truck Group for Freightliner Heavy Truck Parts to Maintain Manufacturer Warranty Requirements

The City of Fort Myers is issuing a sole‑source notice to procure Freightliner heavy‑truck parts from Southport Truck Group in order to preserve the manufacturer’s warranty on its fleet. No formal bids are required; interested vendors may submit product information, qualifications, or capabilities by the deadline, but the City intends to negotiate exclusively with the identified supplier. This notice remains active for 15 days, after which the Purchasing Agent must be notified by email. • Product: Freightliner heavy‑truck parts (replacement/maintenance) • Supplier: Southport Truck Group (exclusive source) • Reason: Use of any other supplier would void the warranty • Deadline for any response: September 7, 2026 (4 PM ET) • Contact: Denise Finn, Procurement Manager ([email protected], (239) 321‑7242) • No formal bid, RFP, or quotation process – City will negotiate directly with the sole source.
