Project Description: This Request for Information (RFI) Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source 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.

Sole Source Designation: Safe Port Terminals LLC
Contractor shall design, install, test, and uninstall a radiation detection system (the “SPT Prototype”) at Port Everglades (the “Pilot Project”). The Pilot Project aims to provide supplemental inspections of primary radiological or nuclear materials and devices inside a container while addressing safety and security risks through advanced technology systems designed to deter terrorists. The Pilot Project will leverage advancements in sensors and computing to transmit data, analyses, and notifications, enhancing the effectiveness of securing Florida’s and other seaports against such risks.
Contractor must have their own grant funding for this project.
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.
