Read Licenses Subscription and Support Services

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) intends to procure a five-year subscription and support services for the ReadyOp GovCloud platform through a statutorily mandated single source process. The procurement is justified because ReadyOp Communications, Inc. is the only qualified vendor capable of providing the secure, web-based, encrypted communication and data collection platform necessary for FDLE’s interagency coordination during planned events and emergencies. The contract, valued at approximately $620,000, will cover licensing for the ReadyOp Dashboard, Alastar Module, GovCloud hosting, and ongoing support, with performance spanning from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2030. The procurement process involves posting a notice for at least 15 business days, allowing other vendors to submit capability information, though the agency expects to award solely to the identified vendor based on the unique nature of the product and statutory requirements. The contract is governed by Florida statutes and administrative rules, specifically Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C., and Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), F.S., which establish procedures for single source acquisitions and protest rights. No federal FAR clauses or competitive evaluation criteria are included, as the award is based on vendor uniqueness rather than competitive bidding. Supporting documentation references a two-page form incorporated by reference and emphasizes compliance with security standards, including GovCloud hosting and encryption, without specifying packaging, marking, or inspection requirements, since the deliverable is a cloud-based service. The procurement process invites vendors to demonstrate their ability to supply the service but does not specify proposal formats, page limits, or media types, reflecting its purpose as an informational notice rather than a competitive solicitation.
