Innovative Security Solutions

The Florida Department of Corrections issued Request for Information FDC RFI-26-042 to explore innovative technological solutions aimed at enhancing safety, security, and operational efficiency across its 134 statewide facilities. The agency is seeking information on advanced security measures to prevent and respond to breaches, specifically focusing on secure communications platforms, behavioral analytics and predictive intelligence, robotic technology for patrolling and surveillance, and other AI-driven or sensor-based management systems. All proposed solutions must be capable of operating reliably within the demanding environment of a correctional institution. This is strictly an informational solicitation for market research purposes and will not result in a procurement decision, contract award, or payment for vendor costs. The RFI was advertised on October 24, 2025, and remains active for a 12-month period, with a final response deadline of October 23, 2026. Interested vendors must submit their responses electronically to Regina Morrison, including a signed certification regarding the boycott of Israel and adherence to various Florida Statutes. Additionally, vendors must comply with public records requirements under Chapter 119, F.S., and are responsible for redacting any confidential or trade secret information.
