Software License Renewal

This is an advertisement for a single source procurement by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for the renewal of a software license for confidential investigative software from Magnet Forensics, LLC. The software license is required for the period of February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025, with an estimated dollar amount of $83,000. FDLE has determined that Magnet Forensics, LLC is the sole provider of the essential technology, processes, and specifications required to support FDLE's investigative mission pursuant to Chapters 943 and 11 of the Florida Statutes and Administrative Code. This procurement opportunity is limited to the jurisdiction of Leon County and the city of Tallahassee in the state of Florida. There is no request for bids or proposals, as this is a statutorily mandated 15-business day advertisement of FDLE's intended single source procurement. Prospective vendors are invited to provide information regarding their ability to supply the required commodities or services, but FDLE has already determined single source justification based on the proprietary and confidential nature of the software.

This is a single source procurement, and the intended recipient is Magnet Forensics, LLC. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor is Magnet Forensics, LLC, and the existing infrastructure or technology requires integration with Magnet Forensics' proprietary software. The budget for this procurement is $83,000.
