About this file

This is a proposal tabulation document from the Florida Department of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) for RFP 26-27-001, a Search Function Solution for Public-Facing Websites. DOAH solicited proposals for a robust, secure, text-based search solution to manage approximately 510,331 indexed PDF documents totaling 0.402 terabytes across five primary collections of administrative records. Proposals were due August 17, 2026 at 4:00 PM ET, with public opening scheduled for August 18, 2026 at 9:00 AM ET via Zoom. The Notice of Intended Award was posted September 11, 2026. Eight vendors submitted proposals representing cloud-based, hybrid, and on-premises deployment models. The contract term is five years with an option to renew for up to an additional five years, contingent on appropriated funds and satisfactory performance, with an effective contract date of September 25, 2026.

Concourse Tech, Inc. was identified as the apparent intended awardee with the highest overall score of 491.67 points out of a possible 500 points, submitting a cloud-based solution at a five-year cost of $179,540.00—the lowest proposal cost among all respondents. The evaluation methodology weighted technical criteria at 400 points across seven evaluation categories (experience, technical approach, search capabilities, business environment understanding, mandatory requirements, implementation methodology, and long-term support) and cost proposals at 100 points. Technical scores represented averages of three independent evaluator assessments, while cost scores were calculated using a formula awarding 100 points to the lowest bid. All eight respondents were deemed responsive, with scores ranging from 390.51 to 491.67 points. The solution must integrate with the current environment of Microsoft Internet Information Services and Classic ASP.NET while replacing the existing Mindbreeze InSpire enterprise search platform and maintaining compliance with Chapter 120, Florida Statutes, and accessibility standards.
