Enhancements to Victim Notification System

The Florida Department of Corrections is seeking enhancements to its Victim Notification System through a single-source procurement under Solicitation SS-26-087, with a posted date of July 27, 2026, and a response deadline of August 14, 2026. The contract is awarded exclusively to Appriss Insights, LLC, due to its unique capability to deliver pre-arrest and pre-incarceration victim notifications, a functionality not available from any other vendor. The system must support proactive alerts via text, email, and a web portal, enable bi-directional real-time communication between victims and law enforcement agencies, automate cross-agency notification sharing, and include a victim satisfaction survey. Performance is required to be carried out within the state of Florida over a five-year term, with an estimated annual value of $6,744,549. The acquisition is justified under Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3) and Section 287.057(3), as well as Rule 60A-1.045, and aligns with UNSPSC classifications for data and online database services. There is no competitive evaluation process, no formal evaluation factors or weighting system, and no structured pricing schedule or line-item breakdown provided. The Florida Department of Corrections retains responsibility for acceptance and oversight, with Alyssa Dillon serving as the primary point of contact for procurement matters. No formal contract clauses, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, invoicing instructions, or representations from the vendor are documented, and while the contract is expected to commence upon award, specific start and end dates are not stated. The agency code 029e8cfd is referenced, but no explicit accounting identifiers such as AAC, TAS, or ACRN are provided.
