Honeywell International, Inc.

The state of Florida, specifically Leon County and the Division of Historical Resources, Bureau of Historical Museums, is pursuing a single source procurement with Honeywell International, Inc. for specialized security system monitoring and maintenance services. The contract involves a proprietary security system designed to secure and monitor museum spaces, with comprehensive video backup capabilities that require technicians certified directly by Honeywell. The procurement is structured as a single source contract under Florida statute 267.031(4)(i), which mandates protecting and preserving historic resources. The total contract value is $49,982.33, with a procurement timeline running from the posted date of April 21, 2025, to the response due date of May 12, 2025. Key objectives include safeguarding museum artifacts and public spaces with high traffic and valuable resources, utilizing a custom-designed security infrastructure that can only be serviced by Honeywell's direct, certified employees.

The contract appears to be restricted to Honeywell International, Inc. as the sole vendor, given the proprietary nature of the security system and the specific certification requirements for technicians. No explicit set-aside designations or opportunities for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The existing infrastructure is a custom-designed security system specified by an outside museum security expert, which requires specialized maintenance and cannot be serviced by alternative vendors. The system includes monitoring capabilities, video backup, and is critical for protecting museum spaces and artifacts. The procurement is a direct single source purchase, meaning traditional competitive bidding processes have been waived due to the unique technical specifications and vendor-specific requirements of the security system.
