Crime-Lite Auto Kit

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is conducting a statutorily mandated fifteen-business-day public notice of its intent to proceed with a sole-source procurement for two Crime-Lite Auto Kits under solicitation number FDLE-SS-2701, with a response deadline of August 21, 2026. This acquisition is justified under Florida Statutes 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), as well as Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C., due to the unique and irreplaceable forensic capabilities of the Crime-Lite Auto Kit manufactured by Foster & Freeman USA Inc., which integrates UV to IR lighting with a 24MP camera for visualizing and documenting latent evidence such as blood, gunshot residue, and friction ridge detail on non-contrasting surfaces. No competitive bidding process is applicable; the procurement is non-competitive by law, and federal FAR clauses are not invoked, as state statutes govern the process. The estimated contract value is $87,000.00, classified under UNSPSC code 46151700 for forensic equipment. Deliverables include the deployment of two fully integrated units to FDLE’s regional crime scene units in Tampa Bay or Orlando, with no formal packaging, inspection checklist, or delivery schedule detailed in the documentation. Performance occurs entirely within Florida, and all procurement inquiries must be directed to Carrie LaJeunesse at [email hidden] or [phone hidden]. No pricing breakdown, payment instructions, contract type designation, or offeror certifications are provided, as the process relies solely on statutory justification for single-source acquisition without soliciting competitive proposals or requiring vendor representations.
