Maintenance for OPEX Equipment

The Florida Department of Revenue is seeking a 12-month maintenance agreement for its OPEX mailing equipment. This is not a solicitation for bids, proposals, or replies, but rather a notice of an intended single-source purchase. The estimated value of the contract is $291,000. OPEX Corporation is identified as the sole authorized source for sales, parts, and services on this proprietary equipment. Prospective vendors must provide information demonstrating their ability to supply the requested services by 11:00 AM ET on May 26, 2023. The justification for the single-source acquisition is that OPEX's proprietary service diagnostic software is covered by patents and copyrights that have not been released to third parties, and OPEX's maintenance staff has the expert technical training and experience required to support and maintain the equipment.

The procurement is limited to OPEX Corporation as the sole source for these services. No other vendors are eligible to respond. The current incumbent or contractor is not specified, and the document does not provide any details on the existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. Additionally, the document does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it include any information on possible award values or budget ranges.
