Overwatch Imaging Software

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting a statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement of an intended single source procurement for Overwatch Imaging Autonomous Sensor Operations (ASO) Software. This procurement, which falls under the jurisdiction of Leon County, Florida, was posted on March 10, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 31, 2026. The FDLE, through its Investigations and Forensic Science division with support from the Aviation unit, seeks to acquire one unit of surveillance and detection equipment designed to enhance aerial surveillance capabilities across its diverse aviation fleet, including fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing aircraft, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The Overwatch Imaging ASO software is an AI-enabled surveillance solution that provides automated object detection, wide area search patterns, edge-based real-time processing, and multispectral data analysis specifically tailored for aviation missions. The procurement justification is based on the proprietary nature of the technology and its unique capability to integrate with FDLE's existing aircraft and sensor systems. No other authorized resellers of this software currently exist, and the agency has determined that comparable alternatives are not available. Prospective vendors are invited to submit information regarding their ability to supply comparable commodities or services by March 31, 2026, with final agency determination to follow after review of any submissions received.

This procurement is a single source acquisition with no set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that may respond. The intended vendor is Overwatch Imaging, located at 33 Nichols Parkway Suite 390, Hood River, Oregon 97031, and no incumbent vendors or alternative contractors have been identified as suitable for this specialized technology requirement. The estimated contract value for the Overwatch Imaging ASO software is $130,000.00. The procurement requires integration with FDLE's existing aviation fleet infrastructure and sensor systems, which serves as a key technical specification for any potential alternative solutions. The procurement was approved by Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services, and Jeffrey Watson, Special Agent in Charge, with the final determination to be made following the review of any vendor submissions received during the advertisement period.
