Description

Description of Intended Products or Services Provided:Purchase of OEM and aftermarket medium and heavy duty truck parts, supplies, repairs, services, diagnostic services, and associated freight needed to support County-owned fleet units for the following:               > Freightliner               > Western Star               > Sterling               > Cummins               > Detroit Diesel. Tampa Truck Center is the only authorized Freightliner and Western Star dealership in the region with certified capability to provide OEM parts, warranty repairs, proprietary diagnostics, and factory-authorized service for County-owned Freightliner, Western Star, Sterling, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel powered equipment. Many of the County’s medium- and heavy-duty trucks use Cummins and Detroit Diesel engines, emissions systems, and driveline components that require manufacturer-certified technicians, proprietary diagnostic software, and factory-authorized repair procedures. These systems cannot be accurately diagnosed or repaired by non-dealer repair shops because Cummins INSITE, Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (DDDL), and Freightliner service tools are restricted-access platforms available only to authorized distributors and dealerships. Furthermore, OEM warranty policies for Freightliner, Cummins, and Detroit Diesel require that warranty-covered and emissions-related work be performed exclusively through an authorized dealer to maintain compliance and avoid voiding warranty protections. Tampa Truck Center is the only vendor in our service area that holds the required OEM authorizations, certified technicians, technical training, proprietary diagnostic systems, and direct manufacturer sup
