About this opportunity
This Request for Information (RFI) issued by Broward County Aviation Division (BCAD) on behalf of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) seeks to determine the availability of alternative providers for access control system services and support currently provided by SGI Matrix Systems, LLC (Matrix). The procurement encompasses the provision of access control system services, including modification, expansion, monitoring, testing, inspection, repairs, maintenance, programming, and certification services necessary to support network integration with the existing Matrix system installed at FLL. The primary objective is to validate whether alternative vendors can meet the County's access control requirements or provide equivalent commodity or service alternatives. Key qualifications required include the vendor's ability to provide seamless integration with the existing Matrix access control infrastructure, maintain system warranties, and ensure continued security and safety operations at the facility. The RFI notice was posted on February 9, 2026, with a closing deadline of March 4, 2026. Prospective vendors are required to submit information demonstrating their capability to meet or exceed the County's specified requirements or provide written documentation contesting the proposed sole source designation.
This procurement does not contain specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises as disclosed in the available documentation. SGI Matrix Systems, LLC is identified as the incumbent sole source vendor currently providing access control system services at FLL. The existing Matrix access control infrastructure represents a critical technology platform that any alternative vendor would need to integrate with or replace entirely. Should a transition to an alternative vendor be deemed necessary, the County notes that such a change would require a complete system overhaul of all access control equipment at FLL, implementation of a new centralized monitoring system, and comprehensive retraining of Airport personnel. The RFI explicitly states this is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment, and no specific award value or budget range is provided in the notice. Any vendor responding to this inquiry must address the technical and operational feasibility of providing services compatible with or superior to the existing Matrix system.
Opportunity text
This Request for Information (RFI) Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County's needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole source (or reasonable source) and is the only commodity/services that meets the County's needs: SGI Matrix Systems, LLC (Matrix), provides Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) the Access Control system and services required to support network integration with the existing system installed at FLL. When these systems are modified, expanded, monitored, tested, inspected, or require repairs and maintenance, such contracts must use the approved, sole source Vendor to test, program, certify and maintain warranties, etc., that are in place. Use of a different system will not integrate with the existing access control system and may cause issues with security and safety within the facility. Broward County Aviation Division (BCAD) is responsible for coordinating and implementing multiple construction projects throughout FLL which require the use of Matrix. The use of an alternative source by transitioning to a different Vendor would require a major overhaul of every piece of access control equipment currently installed at FLL, which includes a new centralized monitoring system, and the development and dissemination of new training for Airport personnel both operating and utilizing these systems. This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time. Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation. If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County's requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County's needs. The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable. The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
