Inquest

The Florida Department of Commerce (Commerce) has identified a need to retain the Sandbox subscription and maintenance support product used to protect data and information systems for the Reemployment Assistance (RA) Program. Commerce intends to award a single source contract to InQuest, LLC, the sole proprietor of the Joe Sandbox products sold and distributed within the United States, at a price of $49,956.00. The Sandbox product generates actionable reports faster and more accurately than the current solution, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of incident response capabilities for the agency. This procurement is categorized under several UNSPSC codes including network security equipment, security and protection software, and security systems services. Commerce has determined that the Sandbox product is necessary and unique, and that there is no available competition for this requirement. The contract will commence upon execution and have an initial term of one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods.

This is a single source procurement, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the type of organization that can respond. There is no incumbent vendor or current contractor listed, and the contract does not require integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The total potential value of the contract, including all renewal options, is $249,780.00.
