Mobile Data Computing (MDC) Solution

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish a contract for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of a comprehensive Mobile Data Computing (MDC) solution. The MDC solution is required for approximately 2,100 sworn and non-sworn Florida Highway Patrol members, with equipment to be installed in up to 2,400 vehicles, 50 motorcycles, and 1,000 office systems. The solution must include hardware, software, and accessories such as tablet/laptop computers, vehicle docking stations, mobile printers, desktop docking systems, and roadside biometric fingerprint identification. The Contractor will be responsible for installation, maintenance, repairs, hardware refreshes, and training. Proposals are due on November 14, 2023, and the original contract term is four years with an option to renew for up to an additional four years. The price for the MDC solution will be evaluated based on the completed Price Sheet, and the Department will not accept any qualifying or caveat language on the pricing.

The MDC solution must be provided as a "Platform as a Service" with a monthly subscription fee, which will include all hardware, software, and labor for the complete replacement and any necessary repairs or replacements during the contract term. The Department will retain ownership of the computer hard drives and data, while the Contractor will retain ownership of all other equipment. The RFP has a maximum budget of $3 million per state fiscal year, and the Contractor will be responsible for equipping the entire fleet with any new model or configuration changes during the contract term.
