Forefront Technologies, LLC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to enter into a single-source agreement with Forefront Technologies, LLC for annual software maintenance and support services for the Ideagen/Mi-Co Mobile Impact Platform software suite, which is critical to the agency’s Inspections and Compliance Management System project. This system supports the Division of Agricultural Environmental Services in safeguarding public health and the environment by ensuring the quality and safety of feed, seed, fertilizer, and pesticides. The software suite includes the Mobile Impact Platform Enterprise Middleware Server, Next Generation Designer Tool, Mi-Apps Mobile Client, Mi-Analytics Business Intelligence Reporting Dashboard, and Electronic Download Center Data Repository. The contract is justified on the grounds that only Ideagen’s Mi-Co platform has the proprietary rights and technical capability to support, maintain, and upgrade the existing system, making competition infeasible. The estimated contract value is $54,314.85, with an approximate maximum authority of $90,000, and the period of performance extends from the date of execution through June 30, 2027. The procurement is conducted under NAICS code 43231500 as a non-competitive, single-source acquisition, and no competitive evaluation factors, inspection protocols, or detailed delivery schedules are required due to the nature of the sole-source designation. The solicitation number is SS 26 27 09, the DMS Single Source number is SS-15999, and the notice was posted on May 18, 2026, with a response deadline of June 9, 2026, during which other vendors may submit information to demonstrate their ability to meet the requirement, though no formal bids are solicited. The place of performance is Florida, and all correspondence should be directed to Brittany Harvey at procurement@fdacs.gov or 850-617-7181.
