About this file
This supporting documentation file for a Request for Information (RFI) concerns Autodesk AutoCAD software procurement by a Florida county. The RFI is designed to determine whether the specified commodity is available from multiple providers or if alternative products can meet the county's requirements. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. The county has identified AutoDesk AutoCAD as potentially available only as a sole brand and the only product meeting its needs. The software provides 2D drafting capabilities with text, dimensions, and layer management; 3D modeling with solids, surface meshes, and realistic rendering; AutoLISP and smart blocks for automating repetitive design tasks; AI features including Autodesk Assistant and Markup Assist for automating layout updates; and cloud storage with web and mobile access for cross-platform collaboration. The RFI remains posted until the closing date and time, with prospective vendors invited to submit information regarding their ability to provide comparable commodities or services or to contest the proposed sole brand designation through the electronic bidding system.
Prospective vendors are instructed to upload supporting information through the electronic bidding system to assist the county in determining whether comparable products are available from multiple suppliers and meet the county's requirements. The county notes that using alternative software would require additional time and cost for personnel training, continuous file format conversions, and quality control on conversion processes and outputs. The Director of Purchasing has sole authority to decide what products are comparable and to designate whether the procurement qualifies as a sole source or sole brand, with that decision not subject to objection, protest, or appeal. No single source designation for Florida, market survey, or additional information and instructions sections apply to this solicitation.
