Pursuant to Section 943.325 F.S., the FDLE Regional Operations Centers throughout the state operate crime laboratories with the specific mission of investigating high profile criminal case work. To accomplish this, FDLE must utilize specific equipment and implements in the analysis of crime-related specimens.

FDLE has procured Faro Technologies equipment to include FARO Focus Premium Laser Scanner, FARO Scene Software and FARO Zone 3D Software on the following single sources FDLE-SS-2128, FDLE-SS-2437, and FDLE-SS-2556. The equipment and software must be

properly serviced and maintained to ensure they remain in operable condition and can meet the needs of FDLE's crime laboratories.

The FARO Focus Premium is a high‑resolution 3D laser scanner used to capture precise, full‑color point‑cloud data of crime scenes. It allows Crime Scene Investigators to rapidly document scenes in their original condition, preserving measurements, spatial relationships, and evidence placement for later analysis, reconstruction, and courtroom presentation.

The FARO Scene and FARO Zone 3D software allow for the processing of the data collected from the crime scene by the laser scanner.

Intended Single Source:

Faro Technologies, Inc 125 Technology Park Lake Mary, FL 32746

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$250,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

FDLE’s crime labs are required to use validated processes, and maintaining accurate, reliable instrumentation supports the strength and consistency of those validated workflows. Annual maintenance and calibration of the FARO Focus Premium, along with regular software updates, helps ensure the scanner continues to produce precise, stable, and defensible measurements that uphold accreditation standards and reinforce the quality of crime scene documentation presented in court.

Faro Technologies provides annual maintenance/calibration, software updates, repair, and support services required for laboratories to effectively use their equipment. Faro Technologies is the sole manufacturer of the instruments and has not authorized any third-party provider to perform maintenance/calibration, software updates or repair on the instruments. Therefore, maintenance, repair, and support services are not available from any other source or vendor.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):
