About this opportunity
The City of Pembroke Pines in Broward County, Florida, is pursuing a sole-source procurement for an Axon Sky-Hero Premium Robotics Bundle through a Notice to Sole Source (NTSS # PD-NTSS-25-01) for its Police Department. The procurement involves acquiring two Sky-Hero Loki II indoor tactical drones, one Sky-Hero Sigyn ground-throwable robot, one Sky-Hero Narfi infrared pole camera, and associated accessories, control units, software, training, spare parts, and a five-year warranty. Key procurement dates include a solicitation issuance on May 23, 2025, with questions due by May 28, 2025, and a bid submission deadline of June 2, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The procurement is being conducted under the City of Pembroke Pines Code Section 35.18 (C) (3) for single-source and sole-source commodities. Evaluation criteria focus on vendors' ability to demonstrate capabilities matching or exceeding the specified requirements, with interested parties required to submit documentation electronically through the OpenGov portal. The Police Department is seeking a robotic system with unique capabilities, including encrypted real-time transmission, extreme low-light surveillance, and mission-specific design for confined-space tactical operations.
The procurement appears to be unrestricted, with no specific set-aside designations or limitations on responding organizations. Axon Enterprise, Inc. is identified as the exclusive authorized reseller and sole source provider of the Sky-Hero product line in the United States, as confirmed by a sole source letter dated April 23, 2025. The city currently utilizes other Axon law enforcement technologies, which provides a rationale for maintaining system compatibility and consistency. While specific award values are not disclosed in the available documents, the procurement includes a comprehensive robotic system with multiple components and a five-year warranty. The proposed contract has an estimated start date of August 1, 2025, with a 60-month term, and most system components are scheduled for delivery by July 1, 2025, with some system refresh components planned for January 1, 2028. The procurement emphasizes operational integration, vendor exclusivity, and the system's unique technological capabilities for law enforcement tactical operations.
