Rocket software licenses

The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) has announced its intention to enter into a single source purchase agreement with Rocket Software, Inc. for Uniface subscription licenses and maintenance services. This is not a competitive bid or proposal opportunity, but rather a notice of intended single source procurement filed under Florida Statutes Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3). The procurement encompasses Uniface software subscription licenses and associated maintenance services for a one-year contract term extending from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The Uniface software currently operates on the FLHSMV's mission-critical Florida Real-Time Vehicle Information System (FRVIS) and Florida Driver License Information System (FDLIS) servers, which support the development and operation of the agency's primary Driver License, Motor Vehicle Title, Vessel Title, and registration applications. The posting was published on April 22, 2026, with a deadline for receipt of information on May 13, 2026, allowing 15 business days for public review and comment. The primary requestor contact is Megan Sunday from Information Services Administration, with Joley Owens serving as the primary agency contact at the Tallahassee office.

Rocket Software, Inc., located at 77 Fourth Ave, Suite 100, Waltham, Massachusetts, has been identified as the sole proprietor and exclusive copyright holder of the Uniface Software and Web Application Server products, with no other authorized resellers available in the marketplace. The single source justification is predicated upon Rocket Software's exclusive ownership of the Uniface software and the absence of external access to the source code, thereby eliminating competitive alternatives. This procurement does not appear to include specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or other organizational restrictions beyond the exclusive vendor designation. The estimated contract value for this single source purchase is $249,135.33 for the one-year term. No incumbent vendor information or current contractor details are specified beyond the identified sole source vendor, and the procurement requires integration with existing FRVIS and FDLIS server infrastructure currently in operation. The purchase has been approved by Megan Sunday and Stephanie Sanford, Procurement Administrator for the Bureau of Purchasing and Contracts.
