Maintenance, Repairs, and OEM Parts Supply Services for Mack Trucks

Project Description: Hillsborough County intends to recommend the award of a sole source procurement to Nextran Corporation d/b/a Nextran Truck Centers - Tampa for ongoing and as-needed maintenance, repairs, and supply of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts services for the County’s Mack-branded trucks for one (1) year at an estimated cost of $250,000.00. All services will be performed by factory-trained personnel utilizing proprietary Mack diagnostic systems, ensuring adherence to technical standards, continuity of operation, and compliance with negotiated pricing and requirements. This procurement is being made in accordance with Section 3-205(2)(e) of the County’s Procurement Policy as Nextran Corporation is the only authorized vendor in Florida with exclusive access to proprietary Mack parts, certified maintenance, and warranty-compliant repair services. The County reserves the right to extend the time period further, adjust the scope of services in response to changing conditions and updated requirements, and increase the resulting award accordingly.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals/bids.
Contractors who are able and interested in providing all the identified propriety parts, goods and services must submit clear and convincing information to support a challenge to the intended award. Challenges to this procurement must be received no later than the specified Close Date of this Sole Source notice and must be submitted using the “submission” section in EUNA Procurement for this particular procurement. Absent any challenges, an award will likely be made after the Close Date.
The County will review properly submitted challenges (responses) to determine whether bona fide competition exists. Any such responses received by the deadline will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct this procurement as a competitive solicitation.
