SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
Approve the Recommendation Regarding the Purchase of International/Navistar Parts and Labor from Sun State International Truck, LLC (Sole-Source Provider) (Business Division) | |
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
Sun State International Truck is a local dealer for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) International/Navistar parts, service, warranty, and repairs. They are the only International/Navistar factory-authorized dealer for DeSoto, Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota counties.
Therefore, Sun State International Truck is considered sole-source and is exempt from the bidding process per Florida Department of Education 6A-1.012 Purchasing Policies (12)(d). This exemption allows Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) to negotiate the best terms and conditions with the vendor. |
