Florida Incident-Based Reporting System Enhancements

This state and local contract opportunity is a statutorily mandated single-source procurement by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for enhancements to the Florida Incident-Based Reporting System (FIBRS), which serves as the state's central criminal justice information repository. The required enhancements are necessary to comply with recent amendments to Florida Statutes and will be provided by the sole source vendor, GCOM Software LLC, over a 10-month period. FDLE has justified the single-source acquisition on the basis that GCOM is the sole supplier and owner of the FIBRS system source code currently used by the agency, and GCOM is the only entity that can provide end-to-end support for FIBRS, including maintenance, administration, and programming. This contract opportunity is limited to the jurisdictions of Leon County and the City of Tallahassee, with an estimated dollar amount of $150,000.

This is a restricted, single-source procurement, and there are no set-aside designations or opportunities for other types of organizations to respond. The incumbent vendor, GCOM Software LLC, is the only entity that can provide the required FIBRS enhancements, as they are the sole owner and provider of the system's source code and infrastructure. There is no existing budget range or award value specified, as this is a statutorily mandated single-source procurement.
