AI Contract Overview
Broward County's Division of Purchasing has issued a notice of intent to designate a sole source or only reasonable source for the Trapeze Midas software application used by the Transportation Department. The software is exclusively licensed and supported by Trapeze Software Group, Inc., which holds the sole rights to the programming code and trademarks associated with the application. The purpose of this notice is to identify whether any other qualified vendors can meet the specifications, with interested parties required to submit their information and documentation demonstrating the existence of alternative sources. If no valid competing responses are received within the specified response period, the County may proceed to award a contract directly to Trapeze Software Group, Inc., without competition, under the open-end contract framework. This process is strictly for determining the availability of the software from other sources; it is not a solicitation for pricing or a purchase commitment. The intended contract is for an indefinite term, with an estimated value between $100,000 and $500,000, and is designated as a sole source due to the proprietary nature of the software. The County emphasizes that the decision to designate a sole source or sole brand will be final, non-appealable, and based solely on the information provided during the public notice period. The notice underscores the importance of carefully reviewing all details before responding and clarifies that the software’s exclusivity and proprietary rights make Trapeze Software Group, Inc. the only authorized provider for support and licensing.
