About this opportunity

The City of Orlando and Orange County, Florida are pursuing a sole source procurement (Solicitation Number S25-0431) for the Ballistics IQ System Software through the Orlando Police Department. The procurement seeks specialized ballistic imaging and intelligence software designed for analyzing fired cartridge cases (FCCs), with the primary vendor being Evidence IQ. The software provides comprehensive capabilities including automated FCC image grouping, efficient scanning technologies, and metadata integration to support law enforcement investigations and prosecutions of violent gun crimes. The system offers two hardware configurations: a single FCC capture station and a multi-scanner capable of simultaneously processing up to 20 FCCs. The procurement is structured as a sole source opportunity, with a specific seven-calendar day window for alternative vendors to challenge the exclusive source designation, running from the posted date of May 22, 2025, to the submission deadline of May 28, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). Interested parties must submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities directly to Lindsey Hladik, Procurement Agent II, via email at lindsey.hladik@orlando.gov.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Evidence IQ is positioned as the sole provider, holding patents on both hardware and software components, with a unique Quality Assurance Team comprised of senior Firearms and Toolmark Examiners. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed in the documentation, the procurement appears focused on acquiring a specialized technological solution for law enforcement forensic capabilities. The existing infrastructure appears to be centered on Evidence IQ's proprietary Ballistics IQ System, which would require integration with current law enforcement technological ecosystems. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned beyond Evidence IQ, and the procurement suggests a potential direct award to this vendor if no comparable alternatives are identified during the seven-day review period. The procurement is specifically targeted at state agencies and law enforcement entities within Florida, with a focus on enhancing investigative capabilities through advanced ballistic imaging technologies.
