Purchase of LR 120 Radar Level Transmitter

The City of Orlando, through its Water Reclamation Enterprises department, is issuing a Sole Source notice of intent to award for the purchase of an LR 120 Radar Level Transmitter. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a public notice that Gilson Engineering Sales of Florida has been identified as the exclusive supplier for this product. The purpose of this seven-day posting is to allow any other supplier who believes they are capable of providing the same type of product or service to submit product information, a statement of qualifications, and/or capabilities for consideration by the designated procurement agent. This notice is published per applicable procurement requirements for sole source purchases and is intended to ensure transparency and equal opportunity for potential alternative suppliers.

The scope of this procurement covers the acquisition and delivery of an LR 120 Radar Level Transmitter, a device used for level measurement in water reclamation applications. The transmitter is a key component for monitoring and controlling liquid levels within the City's water reclamation infrastructure. The successful supplier must be able to provide an identical or equivalent product that meets the specifications of the originally identified sole source item. Delivery, acceptance, and payment terms will be addressed through the award process, and all potential suppliers must comply with the City's standard Terms and Conditions for purchases.

Key dates for this opportunity include: Notice Published and Released on July 22, 2026; and the response deadline is July 29, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

The City will consider submittals received within the seven-day posting period; late submittals may not be accepted. This procurement is categorized under the NAICS code for Transmitters, Pressure (69088).

The evaluation will focus on whether the supplier can provide the same type of product or service as the proposed sole source awardee. Suppliers interested in challenging the sole source determination must demonstrate that their proposed product meets all technical and functional requirements, including compatibility with existing systems, warranty, and compliance with applicable safety and performance standards. The City may issue a purchase order to the identified supplier if no qualified alternative is identified within the posting period. Any questions regarding this notice should be directed to Varun Desai or Willie Torres, Property Supervisor, at the contact information provided in the solicitation document. No pre-proposal conference or Q&A period is scheduled; all communication must be directed to the procurement agent via email.
