BioBase LLC

This procurement is a single-source action by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to acquire an annual subscription-based online platform from BioBase LLC for automated cloud acoustic sonar data processing and geostatistical analysis of spatial sonar data collected by the agency. The platform, accessible via www.biobasemaps.com, provides critical aquatic habitat mapping services including bathymetric, aquatic vegetation, bottom hardness, and substrate mapping, enabling the evaluation of habitat changes over time and supporting resource management decisions. The contract encompasses not only the three-year subscription to the cloud-based software and platform services but also includes the ability to request specialized GIS reprocessing, database creation and maintenance, and online data retrieval services tied to FWC-uploaded sonar datasets. The NAICS code 43233506 and multiple UNSPSC codes reflect the scope covering cloud-based software as a service, geographic information system services, database applications programming, and aquatic ecology services. The estimated contract value is $350,000, covering the full three-year term upon issuance of the purchase order, with performance to occur within Florida. The commission has determined that BioBase LLC is the only source capable of delivering these specialized services, and therefore the procurement is not a competitive solicitation. Prospective vendors seeking to challenge this determination must submit written evidence of their capability to meet the specification requirements via email to Martin Ehlen no later than July 31, 2026, at 4:30 PM ET. Any vendor ultimately selected must demonstrate full capability to perform the contract requirements, maintain integrity and reliability for good-faith performance, and fully comply with Chapter 287, F.S., and all other applicable state and federal regulations.
