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

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has issued a statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement for a single-source procurement of forensic chemical workstations, specifically the IBIS® BRASSTRAX™ Acquisition Station and IBIS® MATCHPOINT™ Analysis Station. This procurement is targeted for Leon County and involves specialized ballistic imaging and analysis equipment designed to connect to the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) IBIS Data Concentrator and IBIS Correlation Server. The procurement is set for a two-year period, with the opportunity posted on September 5, 2025, and the final date for information receipt established as September 26, 2025. The specific objective is to support FDLE's mission of promoting public safety and strengthening domestic security by providing advanced investigative and forensic services in collaboration with criminal justice agencies. The procurement will utilize the National Integrated Ballistics Information (NIBIN) System, which is the only interstate automated ballistic imaging network in the United States.

The procurement is a single-source acquisition from Ultra Electronics Forensic Technology Inc (UEFTI), the exclusive manufacturer of these specific IBIS stations, with no alternative competitive bidding process. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents mentioned in the documentation. The estimated procurement value is $1,500,000.00, covering the acquisition of the forensic workstations and associated technologies. The procurement is uniquely positioned as UEFTI is identified as the sole producer of these specialized systems, which limits potential alternative vendors. The contract supports the integration of advanced forensic technology into existing criminal justice infrastructure, specifically focusing on ballistic imaging and analysis capabilities. The procurement represents a strategic investment in forensic technology that enables more sophisticated investigative capabilities for law enforcement agencies.
