Single Source Provider for Honeywell proprietary equipment and installation

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is seeking a single source procurement for Honeywell proprietary Access Control (EBI) and Digital Video Management (DVM) systems for the Kramer Hall renovation project located in St. Johns County. The procurement specifically requires integration of new equipment with existing campus software and hardware infrastructure, with a total contract value not to exceed $125,000.00. The procurement is structured as a single source acquisition directly with Honeywell International, Inc., located in Jacksonville, Florida. The solicitation was posted on March 5, 2025, with proposals due by March 26, 2025. The project requires specialized installation of cameras, video networking equipment, and access control system components that must seamlessly integrate with the current Honeywell-based campus systems. Detailed technical requirements mandate that only Honeywell factory-trained technicians, who have exclusive access to system documentation, technical bulletins, and support resources, can perform the installation and modifications.

The procurement is restricted to Honeywell International as the sole source provider, based on the proprietary nature of their access control and video management systems. The current campus infrastructure was originally installed by Honeywell technicians, necessitating continued use of their exclusive technical expertise for system modifications and expansions. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the procurement documents. The existing technology environment consists of Honeywell EBI access control systems and digital video management platforms, which require precise integration of new equipment. The contract has a defined budget ceiling of $125,000.00, covering equipment procurement, installation services, and system integration. Honeywell's exclusive qualifications stem from their proprietary programming, factory-trained personnel, and comprehensive technical support capabilities that cannot be replicated by alternative vendors.
