About this opportunity
The issuing body (a Florida county, not specifically named in the source) has posted a Request for Information on June 23, 2026, to determine whether Citrix Systems Inc. is the sole source capable of meeting the County's needs for Citrix hardware, product support, associated software, and subscriptions, with responses due by July 1, 2026. This is a sole-source intent RFI, not a purchase order or pricing request.
The County seeks Citrix solutions that deliver secure, portal-based application and network access for external entities and staff. Required functionality includes encrypted VPN connections, dual-network access for specialized divisions, and secure infrastructure for critical services. The RFI requests vendor information on licensing options, security features, integration capabilities, and support services.
Prospective vendors — including Citrix Systems Inc. and any competitors offering comparable or superior solutions — may respond through the County's electronic bidding system. The County explicitly invites written challenges to the sole-source designation and submissions demonstrating that comparable commodities or services are available from multiple suppliers. Vendors must upload supporting documentation to substantiate capability and comparability claims.
The Director of Purchasing holds sole authority to determine what constitutes a comparable offering and whether to proceed with sole-source designation or open competitive procurement. The County will notify all submitting vendors of the final decision through the electronic bidding system.
