Sirsi Corporation

The Florida Department of State is pursuing a single-source procurement under solicitation DOS-SS-26/27-050 for the maintenance and support of the SirsiDynix integrated library system. This contract, valued at $169,655.46, is intended to ensure uninterrupted access to informational resources for state agencies in accordance with F.S. 257.04. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with services being performed within the state of Florida. The scope of work includes 24x7x365 technical support, daily data backups, system monitoring, and necessary software and hardware upgrades. Because SirsiDynix is the sole provider capable of supporting its own proprietary system, the award is justified as a single-source acquisition under Florida Statute 120.57(3) and Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C., rather than through a competitive bidding process. Primary coordination is managed by David Shufflebotham in Tallahassee, with oversight from the Division of Library Information Services.
