About this file
This is a Supporting Documentation file for a Request for Information (RFI) issued by Broward County, Florida, regarding the potential designation of a sole source for voting equipment and software procurement. The County seeks to replace its existing voting system with new scanners, tabulators, and related accessories from Election Systems & Software (ES&S), which must be compatible with Broward County's current voting system requirements and certified by the State of Florida. The equipment must process 10,000 or more ballots per hour while sorting overvoted and undervoted ballots for canvassing purposes, with capabilities for outstacking and sorting functionality. The RFI remains posted until the specified closing date and time, with prospective vendors able to submit responses and supporting documentation through the electronic bidding system to demonstrate their ability to meet or exceed the County's requirements or to contest the proposed sole source designation.
The Director of Purchasing maintains sole authority in determining whether the proposed designation qualifies as a sole source or sole brand and will notify all submitting vendors of the final decision through the electronic bidding system, with such determination not subject to objection, protest, or appeal. This RFI is explicitly not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. Single source designation for Fort Lauderdale and market survey provisions are not applicable to this solicitation.
