About this file

This document is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division in Florida, specifically targeting Outerlink Corporation for satellite tracking equipment. The notice, released on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, seeks to designate Outerlink as a sole source provider for satellite tracking services from March 19, 2025, to September 30, 2028. The document pertains to Outerlink IRIS satellite tracking equipment that is already integrated into Collier County's medical helicopter, having been installed during the aircraft's initial build/purchase. The submission deadline for potential alternative vendors or objections is Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 3:00 pm.

The sole source justification is based on the specific integration of Outerlink's tracking equipment into the medical helicopter and the requirement to use Outerlink's tracking services monitored through their website. The procurement is not a formal bid or quote request, but rather a notification to verify whether the specifications are non-restrictive and if alternative vendors exist. Interested parties are invited to submit documentation contesting the sole source designation, but are explicitly instructed not to provide pricing. All responses will be reviewed by the Procurement Services Division, which retains sole discretion in determining the validity of the sole source designation. Responses must be submitted online through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System.
