I-Con Systems, Inc.

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) intends to issue a single-source purchase (PUR 7776) for repair parts and services for the I-Con flush and water control systems from the sole vendor, I-Con Systems, Inc. The contract term is for five (5) years, with an estimated annual spend of $75,000. FDC requires these proprietary parts and services to support its water conservation program across multiple correctional institutions. The justification for this single-source procurement is that the I-Con water and wastewater systems are installed in several FDC facilities, and the repair or replacement parts are only available from I-Con Systems, Inc. FDC has determined that I-Con Systems, Inc. is the sole source for these services and parts, which are necessary to maintain the water conservation systems in its correctional facilities. The posting was published on February 29, 2024, and prospective vendors have until March 22, 2024, to provide information regarding their ability to supply the required commodities or services.

This contracting opportunity does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor, I-Con Systems, Inc., currently provides the proprietary parts and services required by FDC. The existing water conservation infrastructure in the FDC facilities is based on the I-Con systems, which require integration with the replacement parts. The total value of the contract is not specified, but the estimated annual spend is $75,000, which would result in a five-year contract value of $375,000.
