Notice of intent to designate sole source MED-packs, LLC DBA "narcbox" and "EMS logik"

Collier County's Procurement Services Division has issued a Notice of Intent to Designate Med-Packs, LLC (doing business as "NarcBox" and "EMS Logik") as a sole source provider for specialized narcotics storage and management solutions for Emergency Medical Services. The procurement specifically covers NarcBoxes and related accessories, including an HQ control panel with locker and NarcTrak Pro subscription, which provide comprehensive medication inventory management, temperature monitoring, reporting, and alert systems. The sole source designation will be effective from April 24, 2024, to September 30, 2026, under Procurement Ordinance 17-08, which allows for unique procurement where a specific supplier is selected due to proprietary technology or lack of competition. Respondents have until May 16, 2024, at 3:00 pm to submit any written documentation challenging the sole source designation through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System. The procurement is not an invitation to bid or quote, and no pricing should be submitted with any responses. Med-Packs, LLC is confirmed as the exclusive manufacturer and seller of the StationStok Inventory Management System, with no other company producing a comparable product.

The sole source procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Med-Packs, LLC is positioned as the exclusive provider, with Brandon Hodges listed as the Founder/Owner. The existing technology infrastructure involves an integrated hardware and cloud-based narcotic security tracking system specifically designed for Fire and EMS organizations. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement covers NarcBoxes, related accessories, the HQ control panel with locker, and a NarcTrak Pro subscription. The Procurement Services Division retains sole discretion in evaluating any alternative proposals, with the primary objective of implementing a comprehensive narcotics management solution that provides robust inventory tracking, temperature monitoring, and automated reporting capabilities for emergency medical services. The procurement appears focused on securing a specialized technological solution with unique capabilities in medication inventory and security management.
