Incorporated by Reference: Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C.

Intended Single Source:

Motorola Solutions, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$563,349.36

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):

The FIN allows federal, state, and local agencies to bridge communication between disparate radio systems throughout the state, improving aid in emergency operations. In 2004, DMS contracted with Motorola, pursuant to a competitive solicitation, for the purchase of equipment, including installation and maintenance, to secure the FIN. Maintenance is no longer being provided under the contract, which expired on September 30, 2014; however, the equipment is still operable and continues to support the FIN. Because the equipment is proprietary to

Motorola, no other vendors can provide the requisite maintenance services and replacement parts. This purchase is to maintain continuity of service for maintenance of the FIN.

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

See DP150 routing and approval form.

Prospective vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described. If it is determined in writing by the agency, after reviewing any information received from prospective vendors, that the commodities or contractual services are available only from a single source, the agency shall provide notice of its intended decision to enter a single-source purchase contract in the manner specified in Rule 60A-

1.045, Florida Administrative Code, and section 120.57(3), F.S.
