REDWIRE

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is seeking to procure new facility access control hardware, security cameras, and an intrusion detection system to function in accordance with laboratory biosafety level 3 containment protocol. The required products and services include access hardware, magnetic locks, motion sensors, door controllers, an IP camera system, and integration with the existing campus security network. The agency has identified Redwire as the intended single source vendor, with an estimated total contract value of up to $94,000 and an approximate contract amount of $69,907.16. The contract term is from 11/04/2022 to 02/03/2023. The justification for the single source procurement is that Redwire has previously implemented the proprietary systems at the agency's facilities, and introducing an alternate system would not be practicable for continuity of laboratory operations. Prospective vendors who believe they can provide these services are requested to submit relevant information to the agency by 10/25/2022, after which the agency will make a final determination on the single source decision.

This opportunity is not a request for bid or proposal, but rather a statutorily mandated fifteen-business-day advertisement of the intended single source procurement. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as the agency is seeking information from any prospective vendors who believe they can provide the required commodities or services. The current incumbent vendor is Redwire, and the agency's facilities already utilize their proprietary systems, necessitating their continued use for operational continuity.
