IBIS® BRASSTRAX™ Acquisition Station and IBIS® MATCHPOINT™ Analysis Station

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting a single-source procurement for the acquisition of one BRASSTRAX Acquisition Station and one MATCHPOINT Analysis Station, which are part of the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) system owned and operated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF). FDLE is granted access to this system for analysis purposes, and has determined that Ultra Electronics Forensic Technology Inc. (UEFTI) is the sole manufacturer and distributor of these IBIS systems, which are necessary and compatible with the NIBIN network. The intended single-source procurement is estimated to cost $200,000 and is limited to the state of Florida, specifically Leon County and the city of Tampa. The procurement is being advertised for at least 7 business days as required by Florida statutes, but there is no mention of any set-asides, incumbents, or funding sources, nor are there details provided on pricing terms, the contract term, or any renewal options.

This is not a request for bid or proposal, but rather a statutorily mandated advertisement of FDLE's intended single-source procurement. The contract opportunity is limited to the state of Florida, with no mention of any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the document does not provide information on any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The budget for this procurement is estimated at $200,000.
