Florida Interoperability Network (FIN) Maintenance

The Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) is pursuing a single-source procurement for Florida Interoperability Network (FIN) Maintenance through a contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc. The procurement seeks maintenance services for Message Switching Systems involving radio and telecommunications infrastructure, specifically covering a 12-month term from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026. The contract focuses on maintaining proprietary radio communication bridge equipment originally purchased in 2004, which supports inter-agency communication across federal, state, and local emergency operations systems. The solicitation was posted on June 4, 2025, with a final date for receipt of information set for June 25, 2025, adhering to statutory requirements for single-source procurement notification. The key objectives include maintaining continuous service for the Florida Interoperability Network and ensuring uninterrupted communication capabilities across emergency response platforms.

The procurement is specifically restricted to Motorola Solutions, Inc. due to the proprietary nature of the existing equipment, effectively eliminating competitive bidding for this contract. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the available documentation. The current infrastructure is a radio communication system originally implemented in 2004, which requires specialized maintenance that only the original equipment manufacturer can provide. The total estimated dollar amount for these maintenance services is $563,349.36, representing the budget for the one-year contract period. Since this is a single-source procurement, there are no alternative vendors capable of providing maintenance or replacement parts for the existing Motorola communication systems. The contract appears to be focused exclusively on maintaining the current technological infrastructure without provisions for significant upgrades or expansions.
