3D Laser Scanners

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting a single-source procurement for 3D laser scanners to upgrade its existing crime scene documentation capabilities. FDLE is seeking to acquire the FARO Focus Premium 3D Laser Scanner, which is compatible with the agency's current software and infrastructure for 3D crime scene recreation. This procurement is for a one-year contract with an estimated value of $180,000 and is intended to cover FDLE's statewide operations, specifically the Leon County and Tallahassee City jurisdictions. FARO Technologies, Inc. has been identified as the sole manufacturer and developer of the required scanners and software, and the FDLE has determined that the requested commodities or services are available only from FARO as the sole source.

The single-source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the FARO scanners and software, which are the only products compatible with FDLE's existing systems and requirements. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a sole-source procurement. The current incumbent vendor is FARO Technologies, Inc., and the agency is seeking to continue its integration with the FARO product line.
