Intent_to_Single_Source_for_PADTrax_Money_Counter.pdf

This document is an Intent to Single Source (ISS) from the City of Tampa, specifically for the Tampa Police Department, seeking to procure a Cassida PADTrax LE 2-Pocket Discriminator Serial Number Capture system with accompanying Windows LE Currency software. The solicitation requires one unit of the PADTrax money counter, with the specific goal of enabling real-time tracking of money used in narcotics transactions across law enforcement agencies. The prospective vendor must be an authorized manufacturer's distributor or dealer capable of providing the product, along with warranty service, maintenance, and repairs as needed.

The single source procurement is justified by the unique capabilities of the Cassida PADTrax system, which is exclusively designed for law enforcement and allows multiple agencies to share serial number data through the Regional Information Sharing System Money Counter Network. By purchasing this system, the Tampa Police Department aims to streamline investigative processes and enhance inter-agency collaboration, noting that the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office already utilizes the same equipment. The document includes a vendor response section requiring potential suppliers to confirm their ability to provide the specified goods and upload documentation proving their authorized vendor status.
