Statewide Response Team Vehicles Equipment Installation

The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Criminal Investigations, is soliciting qualified vendors to procure and install specialized equipment on two Ford F-550 4x4 Super Cab chassis to convert them into fully operational, nonwalk-in investigations support vehicles for the Statewide Response Team. This solicitation, numbered 2425-11 RFP CI, was posted on May 11, 2026, with responses due by June 23, 2026, and includes a mandatory pre-response conference on May 19, 2026. Work must be performed in accordance with the Statement of Work, which specifies the complete upfit of the vehicles including installation of electrical systems, modular components, safety-certified equipment, and compliance with NFPA 70, UL, ASME, and AGA standards. All installations must use new, unused parts, be completed within 120 days of vehicle receipt, and adhere to professional workmanship standards. Acceptance of deliverables occurs only upon written approval by the Department’s Contract Manager after inspection using official checklists and verification of compliance with federal and state regulations. The contract does not specify a monetary value due to incomplete pricing data in Attachment 3, with all line items left blank and total contract price marked as [Insert]. The evaluation will be based on a trade-off methodology, with Technical Response weighted at 180 points (64.3%) and Price Response at 100 points (35.7%), with the highest-scoring offeror selected regardless of cost. The Technical Response must address nine equally weighted sub-factors including organizational structure, personnel qualifications, quality assurance, risk management, and innovation. Proposals must be submitted in sealed packages to the specified Tallahassee address and include three printed unredacted copies, an electronic version on a flash drive in unencrypted .pdf format, and all mandatory attachments including the Special Contract Conditions, PUR 1000 General Contract Conditions, Price Response, and the Mandatory Criteria Certification Form. Contractors must be registered with the Florida Department of State and certify they have no disqualifying history of public corruption, contract terminations for cause, or participation in boycotts against Israel or other scrutinized countries. Subcontracting without prior written approval constitutes a material breach. The contract includes strict data security requirements, mandating that all non-open data be processed solely in U.S.-based data centers, with contractors liable for breaches under Florida Statute 5
