Radio Interoperability Network

The State of Florida, Department of Management Services is seeking information from the vendor community regarding the replacement of its Florida Interoperability Network (FIN) contract through this Request for Information (RFI). The current FIN system allows disparate radio systems and dispatch centers to communicate using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and integrates the Statewide Law Enforcement Radio System (SLERS) talkgroups and conventional Mutual Aid channels. The Department is looking to gather information on equipment and technology, functionality and capabilities, network architecture, security, training and support, and pricing that could be used to develop a future competitive solicitation for a FIN replacement system. Responses to the RFI are due on April 22, 2024, and the Department may select vendors to provide presentations on their submitted information. The Department will not be responsible for any vendor-related costs associated with responding to the RFI, and while the entirety of the responses are considered public records, vendors may claim portions as confidential information.

The RFI does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current FIN system is operated by the Department, and the RFI does not provide any information on the incumbent vendor or the value of the current contract. The RFI also does not specify a budget range or anticipated award value for the future contract.
