Single source - overwatch imaging ASO with processor

The Division of the Florida State Guard is seeking to procure three Overwatch Imaging Automated Sensor Operator (ASO) Processor systems through a single source acquisition. These processing systems are designed to support Overwatch Imaging ASO software, enabling high-quality imagery collection for wide-area, multi-domain mapping and intelligence missions. The processors must be compatible with existing FMV (Full Motion Video) gimbal equipment currently deployed within the state's fleet. The procurement was posted on February 27, 2026, with a deadline for receipt of vendor information and protests set for March 20, 2026, providing a 15 business-day comment period in accordance with Florida Statutes Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3). The single source justification was approved by the Purchasing Director, General Counsel, and Budget Officer of the Division of the Florida State Guard. No formal bidders' meetings or site visits have been scheduled. Interested vendors may submit protests or inquiries via mail to 2601 S. Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, FL 32301, or via email to FSGPurchasing@floridastateguard.fl.gov.

The State Guard has justified this single source procurement on the grounds that the Overwatch Imaging ASO Processor represents the most capable available option and ensures compatibility with existing fleet equipment, thereby maintaining operational conformity across the division. The estimated contract value for this acquisition is $373,125.00. The procurement documents do not specify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions based on vendor classification, suggesting this opportunity may be available to qualified vendors regardless of size or designation status. Overwatch Imaging has been identified as the incumbent vendor and sole source provider for this specialized technology. The successful contractor must deliver systems that integrate seamlessly with the division's current FMV gimbal infrastructure without requiring modifications to existing fleet assets.
