About this file
This is a Supporting Documentation file for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by Broward County, Florida, regarding the designation of a sole source/sole brand for voting equipment and software purchase. The RFI seeks to determine whether the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers or if alternative solutions exist that would meet the County's needs. This is explicitly not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. The County is considering the designation of Election Systems & Software (ES&S) as the sole source provider for new scanners, tabulators, and all related accessories, components, equipment, software licenses, and maintenance. The equipment must be compatible with Broward County's existing voting system requirements, be currently certified by the State of Florida, and capable of processing 10,000 or more ballots per hour while sorting overvoted and undervoted ballots for canvassing purposes, including outstacking and sorting functionality. The RFI remains posted until the specified closing date and time, with prospective vendors invited to submit information demonstrating their ability to meet or exceed the County's requirements or to provide written documentation contesting the sole source designation through the electronic bidding system.
Vendors responding to the RFI should upload all supporting information through the electronic bidding system to assist the County in determining comparability, availability from multiple suppliers, and alignment with County needs. The Director of Purchasing retains sole authority to determine what constitutes a comparable product or service and will notify all submitting vendors through the electronic bidding system of the final decision regarding sole source or sole brand designation. This decision is not subject to objection, protest, or appeal. No additional information regarding single source designations, market surveys, or other supplementary instructions is applicable to this solicitation.
