SONITROL MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE SERVICES

The Department of Financial Services, Division of Administration, intends to award a sole-source contract to Sonitrol of Tallahassee Inc. for continuous security monitoring and maintenance services for proprietary surveillance and access control systems installed across seven state-owned buildings in Tallahassee, Florida. The services encompass 24/7/365 alarm verification, technical support, system repairs, and replacement of components under a lifetime warranty that is contingent upon exclusive use of Sonitrol-authorized personnel. The contract value is fixed at $135,000, with no line-item breakdowns, option periods, or escalation clauses specified. The procurement follows a sole-source justification under Florida Statutes Chapter 287.057(3) and Chapter 120.57(3), citing technological exclusivity as the sole reason for non-competitive award, since only Sonitrol technicians can service the integrated systems without voiding warranties or disrupting operations. The place of performance is limited to designated DFS facilities including the J. Edwin Larson Building, Fletcher Building, The Atrium, Hermitage Center, Edgewater Building, the Division of Investigative and Forensic Services Warehouse, and the Claude Pepper Building. The solicitation, identified as 2526-07 SS AD A.D., was posted on June 12, 2026, and a 72-hour protest period runs through June 17, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. ET, during which any interested parties may challenge the award under state procurement law. Protests must be submitted via mail, email, or fax to the Agency Clerk and must be accompanied by any required bond or security to preserve legal recourse. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, inspection criteria, or detailed delivery schedules are provided, as the process is not subject to competitive bidding. Payment, contract administration, and invoice processing details are not fully defined, but inquiries should be directed to Becky Hale of the Office of Purchasing and Contractual Services. The NAICS code 46151600 applies, and while no certifications, representations, or socioeconomic status disclosures are included, the agency confirms that no other vendor is capable of fulfilling the operational requirements due to proprietary system constraints.
