Intent to Single Source - Buckeye Cleaning Products

The Parks and Recreation Department has been using Buckeye Products for several years throughout the citywide park system. Our sites have dispensers for their chemical dilution systems and soap dispensers. The chemical systems help to ensure proper chemical mixtures while also reducing any unnecessary waste helping to reduce product and labor costs. The advanced soap dispensers reduce waste and help save staff time on change outs. The green-seal certified Symmetry hand soap, which fits into the custom logo dispensers made for the parks, is manufactured by Buckeye and only provided locally through the Buckeye Cleaning Center of Tampa. This type of sole sourcing is also the case for the cleaning chemicals used in both the Smart Center and Eco dilution systems. Trying to use other chemicals and products on these systems will not work and may lead to poor performance, wasted product, and potential safety hazards.
