XRY Software License Renewal

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued a single-source procurement notice to renew the license for MSAB Incorporated’s XRY digital forensic software, citing Florida Statute 287.057 and administrative rule 60A-1.045 F.A.C. as the legal basis for bypassing competitive bidding. The software is deemed proprietary and irreplaceable, providing essential capabilities for extracting live, deleted, and encrypted data from mobile devices used in criminal investigations, with no commercially viable alternatives available. The contract value is fixed at $46,000 for a one-time license renewal, with no options, extensions, or additional line items. Performance is confined to the State of Florida, where FDLE personnel operate the software for forensic analysis in both field and laboratory settings, and no physical delivery, packaging, or marking requirements apply due to the purely digital nature of the service. There is no formal solicitation process, evaluation criteria, or competitive award methodology; the decision rests solely on the uniqueness of the technology and its critical role in supporting FDLE’s mission under Chapter 943, Florida Statutes. The primary point of contact is Carrie LaJeunesse of the Office of General Services, with additional oversight from Julia Lycett and Jason Bundy. Protests to the intended award must be submitted by April 28, 2026, via email, mail, or fax, but no formal proposal submission is required. No certifications, representations, or socioeconomic status information from MSAB Incorporated were provided, and no FAR clauses, inspection standards, or military specifications apply. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 81111805 for proprietary system maintenance, and no payment details, accounting codes, or invoicing procedures are specified in the documentation.
