C-CURE Access Control Software

The City of Orlando, located in Orange County, Florida, is conducting a sole source procurement (Solicitation S24-0090) for the acquisition of C-CURE Access Control Software from Johnson Controls. The procurement specifically involves purchasing an annual subscription for the P2000 Series Access Control System Software and Hardware, which is intended for use at the Orlando Events Center. Johnson Controls has been identified as the exclusive authorized source for these access control system products, with their employees being the only factory-trained technicians capable of providing direct technical support from the manufacturer. The solicitation is structured as a sole source procurement, with a response deadline of Monday, November 20, 2023, at 5:00 pm, and will remain active for seven calendar days. During this period, alternative suppliers are invited to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities if they believe they can provide an equivalent product or service. The designated Purchasing Agent for this opportunity is Lindsey Hladik, who can be contacted at lindsey.hladik@orlando.gov or (407) 246-2332.

The procurement appears to be limited to certified installers in the Orlando, Florida region, with Johnson Controls being the sole authorized vendor for the specific P2000 Series Access Control System. No explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The current infrastructure requires integration with the existing Orlando Events Center systems, and Johnson Controls has positioned itself as the exclusive provider for this technology in the Central Florida region. While specific pricing details are not disclosed in the initial notice, the procurement is for an annual software subscription. The vendor letter from Johnson Controls emphasizes that their products are restricted and can only be sold by certified installers, which effectively limits potential competition. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the available documentation, though the procurement is for an annual access control software subscription for the Orlando Events Center.
