The document was posted on December 8, 2025, with a deadline for receipt of information by January 5, 2026, representing the statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement period required for single-source procurements under Florida law. No bidders' meetings, site visits, or award dates are referenced in this advertisement, as this notice is intended solely to solicit information from prospective vendors regarding their ability to supply the described commodities or services.
The estimated dollar amount for this single-source acquisition is $86,000.00, with the intended sole source being Pen-Link, Ltd., located at 3400 Plantation Drive, Suite 200, Lincoln, Nebraska 68516. FDLE justifies the single-source procurement on the basis that the PenLink System is exclusively developed and produced by Pen-Link, Ltd., is completely proprietary to that vendor, and cannot be supplied, supported, or serviced by any other vendor. The procurement has been approved by Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services, and Mike Duffey, Special Agent in Charge.
