About this file

This document is a Question and Answer (Q&A) related to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Division of the State Guard of Florida for the procurement of up to two (2) Britten-Norman Defender BN2T-4S aircraft. The RFP, solicitation number FSG-RFP-24/25-1005, seeks to establish a contract for these specialized aircraft, which will be outfitted with various sensor systems and communications equipment valued at approximately $8,000,000. The RFP states that the aircraft must be model year 2004 or newer, and the 180-day delivery period may be extended. The Q&A addresses several clarifying questions related to the required equipment, heating systems, and business information requirements.

The RFP confirms that the State Guard understands only Britten-Norman can supply the BN2T-4S model, and the State of Florida prefers new or pre-owned aircraft meeting the specified criteria. Pricing terms, set-asides, and funding sources are not explicitly addressed in the Q&A, but the anticipated $8,000,000 expenditure suggests significant budgetary allocation for this procurement.
