Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source Procurement for Place Attic Stock - Airside 3

Brief Description: MCO Place Attic Stock - Airside 3 Estimated Value: $205,000 Term (Years): 1 time purchase Vendor: Arconas Justification: The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority requires the purchase of replacement parts and attic stock for the existing Arconas Place seating system installed throughout Airside 3. The requested items include proprietary replacement components specifically designed and manufactured for the Arconas Place seating product line, including seat cushions, back cushions, tablet arms, arm covers, end caps, glides, hanger castings, and related accessories. The requested parts must be fully compatible with the Authority's existing seating inventory to ensure consistency in appearance, functionality, safety, and maintainability. The components are manufacturer-specific and are engineered to fit only the Arconas Place seating system currently installed at the airport. Use of alternative or aftermarket products could result in improper fitment, diminished performance, inconsistent appearance, voidance of manufacturer warranties, and increased maintenance costs. Additionally, the replacement cushions must match existing upholstery materials, colors, and specifications currently utilized within the facility, including Ocean Grey, Teal, Regimental Blue, and Momentum Keeper CV Pool upholstery selections. Certain replacement back cushions also require ADA embroidery consistent with the existing installation. Arconas Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only known source capable of providing genuine replacement parts that meet the Authority's compatibility, quality, and aesthetic requirements. No other supplier is authorized to manufacture or provide these exact proprietary components. Therefore, competition is not practicable, and procurement from Arconas Inc. is necessary to maintain the operational integrity and uniform appearance of the Authority's existing seating assets
