GovInvest Enterprise Platform

The City of Orlando's Procurement and Contracts Division has issued a sole source solicitation (S25-0101) for the acquisition of the GovInvest Enterprise Platform, which includes four proprietary software modules: Labor Costing, Live Compensation, Pension, and OPEB. These modules provide specialized workforce and financial planning capabilities such as detailed labor cost analysis, real-time compensation benchmarking, actuarial valuations, and projections for pensions and other post-employment benefits. GovInvest Inc. is identified as the exclusive developer and distributor of this software suite, with no authorized resellers or comparable alternative solutions available in the market, justifying the sole source procurement approach. The contract aims to enhance the City’s budget accuracy, transparency, and strategic labor negotiations by leveraging interactive dashboards, dynamic reporting tools, and validated actuarial models. The solicitation was posted on November 20, 2024, with submissions due by November 26, 2024, and is managed by Procurement Agent Lindsey Hladik. Suppliers other than GovInvest are invited to provide product information and qualifications during a seven-day challenge period, although no alternative vendors have been identified. The contract documentation does not specify pricing, quantities, delivery schedules, or standard FAR clauses and lacks detailed terms related to inspection, payment procedures, or contract administration beyond identifying Florida as the place of performance. No special contract requirements such as security clearances or key personnel stipulations are included. The overarching procurement justification centers on GovInvest Inc.’s unique intellectual property rights and the specialized, non-replicable nature of the software modules critical to the City’s actuarial and labor cost management functions.
