DJJ-ITB-Two-Way Radios 25/26-004

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) is seeking competitive bids for a statewide procurement of two-way radio products and non-warranty maintenance services through Invitation to Bid (ITB) number DJJ-ITB-Two-Way Radios 25/26-004. The procurement specifically targets the supply, delivery, and programming of two-way radios for DJJ Detention Centers, with a focus on Motorola portable and handheld radio models including CP100D-G6-A-ND Basic and Talkabout T400 Series radios. The contract will have a three-year term from November 1, 2025, through November 30, 2028, with a potential extension for an equal period. Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including a non-collusive affidavit, customer references demonstrating at least five years of business experience, and a mandatory drug-free workplace certification. The procurement is structured on an "all or none" basis, requiring vendors to bid on all items to be considered responsive. Proposals are due on October 24, 2025, at 3:00 P.M. EST, with a public bid opening scheduled for 4:00 P.M. EST in Tallahassee, Florida.

The DJJ encourages participation from minority, women-owned, and service-disabled veteran businesses, with specific provisions to support diversity in the procurement process. Bidders must be registered in the MyFloridaMarketPlace system and comply with state requirements, including E-Verify and background screening regulations. The department will retain 10% of invoice amounts if performance deficiencies are not resolved, and price adjustments may be considered semi-annually after the first six months based on market conditions. All transportation charges, including freight, fuel surcharge, handling, and distribution, must be included in the delivery charge. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the statewide nature of the contract suggests a potentially significant procurement value. The radios must meet specific technical specifications, including frequency ranges of 403-480 MHz, 16-channel capacity, Li-ion battery types, and include accessories such as antennas, belt clips, and chargers. The procurement aims to establish a single prime vendor to provide a comprehensive radio communication solution for the Department of Juvenile Justice.
