Justification of Sole Source Acquisition from Vapex Environmental Technologies

Description: The City of Clermont issued RFI 27-007 to determine whether its proposed sole-source specifications for Vapex Environmental Technologies’ Radical Odor Control System are non-restrictive and can be met by another supplier. The system is for wastewater odor control and disinfection using patented hydroxyl-radical generation, has an estimated annual expenditure of $80,000, and is described as requiring Vapex or an authorized representative for repairs and major service to preserve the warranty. This open request for information—not an invitation to bid or quote—allows vendors to challenge the sole-source rationale by submitting information about an equivalent offering by October 20, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, without pricing.
