Request for Information - Algo Communications – Airport Mass Notification System

A Florida county is issuing a Request for Information with a notice of intent to designate Algo Communications as sole source and sole brand for an airport mass notification system, with responses due November 16, 2026. The RFI determines whether the system is available from multiple providers or whether an alternative would meet the county's needs. It is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.

The county cites three reasons Algo products are the only ones meeting its needs: direct integration with Cisco Call Manager, full backwards compatibility with the 800+ Algo endpoints already deployed, and unified native multicast architecture. Evaluation focuses on deterministic failover paging, unified audio/visual synchronization, centralized device management through the Algo Device Management Platform (ADMP), and interchangeable deployment in indoor and outdoor terminal environments.

Vendors may respond through the county's electronic bidding system with documentation showing they can meet or exceed these requirements, or they may contest the proposed sole brand designation. The Director of Purchasing has sole authority to determine comparability and whether to designate a sole source or sole brand. That decision is non-appealable and will be communicated to all submitting vendors through the electronic bidding system. The RFI was posted October 23, 2026.
