Mitigation Elevation Certificate Cloud System

The Florida Division of Emergency Management is procuring a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service platform called the Mitigation Elevation Certificate Cloud System from Forerunner Industries, Inc. under a single-source acquisition justified by the vendor’s unique ability to meet statutory and operational requirements not available through other commercial solutions. The system will enable the digitization, parcel-level mapping, and management of Elevation Certificates across Florida, integrating with FEMA flood zone data to identify Non-Flood Insurance Program compliance violations and track Repetitive Loss and Severe Repetitive Loss properties. The contract has a one-year performance period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with an estimated total value of $590,739.00. The procurement is governed by Florida Statute 472.0366 and Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C., and does not incorporate federal acquisition regulations or standard FAR clauses. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing line items, or formal inspection criteria are documented due to the non-competitive nature of the award. The system must support online uploads by licensed surveyors, statewide property searching linked to flood maps, and internal compliance reporting, with all functions operating digitally without physical delivery or packaging requirements. Submission of proposals was due by June 8, 2026, and all procedural requirements are centered around the state’s single-source procurement authority. The contracting point of contact is Mina Barekat, and no CAGE, UEI, small business, or socioeconomic certifications were provided or required for the offeror.
