Single Source - Montgomery Technology Services (MTS)

Brevard County Board of County Commissioners, through its Purchasing Services Department, is conducting a sole source procurement for detention door access control system services and related cell door, door frame, and locking system services at the County Jail and courthouses. The procurement seeks installation, maintenance, and support services for the MTI (Detention Door Access Control) system, with the primary objective of ensuring specialized security infrastructure remains operational and properly maintained. The services to be procured include technical support, maintenance, and ongoing system management for the existing electronic door control systems currently installed at the County Jail. The county has identified Montgomery Technology Systems, LLC (MTS) as the sole source provider based on MTI's requirement that all products be distributed exclusively through certified integrators with demonstrated quality service records. Key qualifications include certification as an MTI integrator and demonstrated experience with the specific electronic door control systems currently deployed at the County Jail. The Notice of Intended Decision was posted on April 1, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., with a response deadline of April 6, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. for any respondents who believe they can meet or exceed the stated requirements. Interested parties must submit convincing technical data to support their position and should direct inquiries to Heather Riley at 321-617-7390 or heather.riley@brevardfl.gov. The evaluation criteria emphasize technical capability to provide substantially similar products and services, with the county reserving the right to cancel this notice and proceed with formal solicitation if comparable alternatives are demonstrated.

This procurement is not designated as a set-aside for disadvantaged enterprises or other protected categories. Montgomery Technology Systems, LLC is the incumbent vendor, having been awarded the original contractor position for the existing electronic door controls at the County Jail under Bid 8-6-22-70. The requirement for integration with existing MTI systems creates a significant technological barrier to entry, as the equipment and services are specialized and non-interchangeable with other manufacturers' products. The county's justification emphasizes that MTS's existing familiarity with the current electronic door control systems makes continued engagement more cost-effective than engaging alternative providers. The estimated one-time acquisition value is $1,000,000.00 annually. The procurement is authorized under Brevard County Policy BCC-25 and Florida Statutes section 287.057(5)(3)(c), with approval authority vested in the Board of County Commissioners due to the contract value exceeding $200,000.
