The Broward County Facilities Management Division (FMD) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to determine if Rapiscan Systems' 600 series, 900 series, VOTI XR3D, and Gemini X-ray inspection systems are available from multiple providers or if the specified systems are unique to Rapiscan. The purpose of this RFI is to identify whether there are alternative commodities or services that meet the County’s needs, with no intention of immediate purchase or pricing negotiations. The County currently relies on Rapiscan for package and bag scanning at various locations, including the courthouse, and seeks to standardize equipment to improve efficiency, facilitate training, and ensure that new machines fit within existing space constraints without modifications. Vendors interested in responding are asked to provide detailed information demonstrating their ability to supply the specified systems or comparable alternatives, including supporting documentation. The County’s Director of Purchasing will review submissions and determine whether other suppliers can meet the requirements or if Rapiscan’s systems are the only reasonable source. The decision will be final, non-appealable, and communicated through the electronic bidding system. This process aims to streamline procurement by establishing Rapiscan as a sole source if deemed appropriate, with the contract estimated to be valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000.

Request for Information: Rapiscan Systems Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Sole Brand: This Request for Information (RFI) Notice of Intent to Designate Only Reasonable Source is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County’s needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole source (or reasonable source) and is the only commodity/services that meets the County’s needs: The Facilities Management Division (FMD) seeks to procure an Only Reasonable Source for the purchase and servicing of Rapiscan System's 600 series, 900 series, VOTI XR3D and Gemini X-ray inspection systems. The County utilizes Rapiscan Systems for scanning packages and bags at multiple County locations and includes preventive maintenance with the annual radiation certification, on-site repair and 24/7/365 phone support. It is in the County's best interest to standardize the machine manufacturer, which will streamline product knowledge and training for increased efficiency. Also, due to limited spacing at the courthouse, new machines will fit in the existing space without requiring any modifications to the current screening areas. This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time. Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation. If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County’s requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County’s needs. The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable. The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
