Remit Plus Software Licenses Maintenance and Support

Broward County, Florida, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number TCH2132255F1 to assess whether alternative solutions exist for the maintenance and support of RemitPlus software and Parascript Checkplus, currently designated as a sole source procurement from Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. This is not a competitive solicitation nor a request for pricing or a commitment to purchase; rather, it serves as a formal mechanism to justify the sole source designation by evaluating if other vendors can provide equivalent services. The focus is on technical capability, specifically the ability to support the integrated suite used for electronic remittance processing, check scanning, data entry, balancing, depositing, and interfacing with the Customer Information System, all while maintaining required security protocols including encryption, authentication, access control, and tokenization. The place of performance is within Florida, though no specific city or on-site requirements are outlined, and the system operates on-premises with no physical delivery or packaging elements involved. The solicitation explicitly states that no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, award basis, inspection criteria, or administrative instructions such as invoicing methods, payment offices, or accounting codes are applicable at this stage, consistent with its nature as a sole source justification document. Vendors are required to affirm through an electronic submission whether they can support the specified software platforms using the Broward County procurement portal, with no requirements for size status certifications, unique entity IDs, or socioeconomic attestations. No submission format, page limits, or file type specifications are mandated beyond uploading supporting documentation electronically by the deadline of May 18, 2026. The County’s Director of Purchasing maintains authority over the sole source determination, which cannot be protested, and all intellectual property rights remain solely with Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. The absence of pricing, delivery timelines, contract terms, or formal evaluation criteria underscores that this RFI is a procedural step to validate exclusivity prior to potential contract award, and not a procurement action itself.
