INFOSENSE_SOLE_SOURCE.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification document supporting the State of Florida's intent to sole source the Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool from InfoSense. The document establishes that InfoSense is the sole manufacturer, distributor, and supplier of this specialized assessment technology. The tool is designed to provide aggregate blockage assessment of sewer lines using active acoustic transmissions between a transmitter and receiver positioned in adjacent pipes, representing a unique technological approach not available from alternative vendors. The procurement addresses Florida's need for rapid, accurate sewer line condition assessment capabilities to support municipal infrastructure evaluation and maintenance planning.

The justification emphasizes InfoSense's exclusive control over the proprietary technology and market position as the only vendor capable of delivering this specific acoustic-based assessment solution. The sole source procurement structure allows Florida to acquire the specialized equipment and supporting software necessary for efficient sewer infrastructure diagnostics without conducting competitive bidding. This approach recognizes the technical uniqueness of the product and the absence of reasonably available alternative sources that could meet the functional requirements for active acoustic transmission-based blockage assessment in adjacent pipe configurations.
