AI Contract Overview
Broward County is issuing a Request for Information to evaluate whether the Schlage Security Management Products from Vanderbilt Industries LLC can be sourced from multiple providers or if an alternative solution exists that meets the County’s access control and intrusion alarm integration requirements. The County currently designates Vanderbilt SMS as a sole source due to its compatibility with existing Geoffrey Industries systems and adherence to established security standards, and is seeking confirmation from vendors that they can either provide an equivalent product or demonstrate why this designation should be reconsidered. Vendors must submit responses through the electronic bidding system by July 1, 2026, including documentation that supports their ability to meet or exceed the County’s technical and operational specifications, particularly around access control, alarm compatibility, and authorized maintenance capabilities. The Director of Purchasing holds full discretion in determining whether any submitted alternatives are comparable to the designated sole source product, and their decision on sole source designation is final and not subject to protest, objection, or appeal. All responses must be uploaded electronically by the stated deadline, and vendors will be notified via the bidding system of the outcome. This RFI is not a solicitation for pricing, bid proposals, or a commitment to purchase, and is intended solely to gather market information. The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-aside provisions, and the point of contact for inquiries is Neda Augusto, with Marlyn Mahabeer as the alternate.
