Project Description: Project Description - Request for Information
Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Brand:
This Request for Information (RFI) Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Brand is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County’s needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.
The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole brand and is the only commodity/services that meets the County’s needs:
FreeFlight Systems is the manufacturer of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) Out Squitter units currently installed on designated airport ground vehicles operating at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Airport Ground Vehicle ADS-B squitter units broadcast real-time vehicle position data to air traffic control and cockpit displays, significantly reducing the risk of runway incursions and other ground safety incidents.
Benefits of the continued use of the ADS-B through FreeFlight Systems will 1) ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure, 2) operational continuity, 3) cost efficiency by leveraging existing maintenance protocols and spare parts inventory.
This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time.
Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation.
If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County’s requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County’s needs. The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable.
The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
