Stevens Water Monitoring Systems, Inc.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has issued a public notice of its intended decision to award a single source contract to Stevens Water Monitoring Systems, Inc. under solicitation number 2026SS023AD, with an internal tracking number of AD-16029 and DMS Single Source number SS-15783. This action, posted on May 21, 2026, is authorized under Florida Statute 287.057 and constitutes a non-competitive procurement based on the unique capabilities of the SkyView 360 data acquisition and management software system, which is essential for the Department’s Division of State Lands Tide Station Program. The contract is valued at $82,000 and covers annual hosting, maintenance, and support services necessary to ensure continuous operation, data integrity, and functionality of remote monitoring infrastructure across Florida, enabling critical applications such as beach management, storm surge prediction, and environmental research. The North American Industry Classification System code 81112105 categorizes the service as World Wide Web Site Operation Host Services, and the place of performance is limited to the state of Florida. No competitive evaluation factors, detailed delivery schedules, or contractual terms beyond the scope and price have been disclosed, as this is a post-decision notice rather than an open solicitation. Protest of this intended award must be filed in accordance with section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, and failure to do so within the prescribed timeframe, or failure to post the required bond or security, constitutes a waiver of rights to seek redress under Chapter 120. The point of contact for inquiries is Kimberly Bowling, with email and phone provided for official correspondence. The procurement does not include detailed specifications for packaging, inspection, delivery, or contract administration beyond the core service description, nor does it contain clauses, representations, certifications, or special requirements typically found in competitive solicitations, reflecting its nature as a justified single-source award grounded in the irreplaceable functionality of the SkyView 360 system. Response deadline for any protest is May 27, 2026.
