Opex Windows 11 Upgrade

This procurement pertains to a single-source upgrade of the Florida Department of Revenue’s operational systems, specifically involving the replacement of Windows 10 with Windows 11 on twelve Falcon V Opex scanners and one Opex Eagle scanner, along with the deployment of Opex Insight Reporting & Monitoring Software. The purchase, estimated at $150,000, is intended solely from OPEX Corporation, which is recognized as the exclusive authorized provider of the proprietary hardware, diagnostic software, and related services necessary for this upgrade. The project aims to maintain system security, ensure reliable document imaging, and implement performance monitoring through licensed software, with no competitive solicitation involved. The notice invites potential vendors to submit written capability statements by August 25, 2025, to the designated contact, with responses evaluated to confirm the sole-source justification based on proprietary rights and technical exclusivity. Governed primarily by Florida statutes and administrative rules, the procurement process emphasizes transparency through a posting period of at least 15 business days, allowing for vendor input and protest rights. The contract does not specify federal FAR clauses, nor does it include detailed terms related to packaging, shipping, inspection, or acceptance, focusing instead on technical scope and statutory compliance. The procurement documentation also lacks explicit evaluation criteria, award methodology beyond the single-source determination, and detailed administrative or financial procedures such as invoicing or payment processes. The key contractual elements revolve around the proprietary nature of the equipment and software, the necessity for compatibility and security, and adherence to Florida’s procurement statutes, with no additional clauses or certifications explicitly incorporated.
