Intended Single Purchase Source Montgomery Technology Inc.

The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners is issuing a notice to establish a single source contract with Montgomery Technology Inc. for the maintenance and upgrade of the MTI control systems at the Alachua County Jail. This procurement is justified because Montgomery Technology Inc. was originally awarded the system through a competitive bid process (RFP 09-396) and is the sole manufacturer and supplier of repair parts for the system. The parts are proprietary and cannot be replaced with components from other vendors, making standardization and system integrity dependent on this specific vendor. The contract is expected to range between $50,000 and $200,000, with a response deadline set for August 13, 2025. The procurement approach emphasizes the necessity of a single source acquisition due to the proprietary nature of the system components and the vendor’s exclusive ability to provide necessary repair parts. The contract will be managed by the Alachua Facilities Management division, with the primary contact being Markisha Boykin. The process aims to ensure continued security system functionality and compliance with existing standards, leveraging the vendor’s unique capabilities to maintain the integrity and operational readiness of the jail’s security infrastructure.
