Software License Renewal

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is pursuing a single source procurement for a confidential software license renewal from Magnet Forensics, LLC, specifically for information retrieval and search software to support investigative tactics. This procurement is for the FDLE's Office of Investigations and Forensic Science (IFS) and aims to strengthen domestic security and promote public safety. The software license covers the contract period from February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2026, with a posted notice date of January 13, 2025, and a final day for receiving information on February 4, 2025. The procurement is being conducted within Leon County, Florida, and involves a specialized software solution classified under UNSPSC code 43232309. While this is not a traditional request for bid or proposal, FDLE is open to receiving information from prospective vendors about their capability to provide similar services before making a final determination on the single source purchase. The agency has determined that Magnet Forensics, LLC is the sole provider of the specific technology, processes, and specifications essential to FDLE's investigative mission.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The intended vendor, Magnet Forensics, LLC (Grayshift), is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and will be the primary contractor for this software license renewal. The estimated contract value is $88,000.00, which covers the one-year license term. The procurement has been approved by key agency leadership, including Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services, and Jason Bundy, Director of Forensic Services. No incumbent vendor information is explicitly mentioned, and there are no detailed integration requirements noted beyond the software license renewal. The procurement is specifically for a confidential software solution that supports FDLE's investigative capabilities, with the agency retaining the right to review alternative vendor offerings before finalizing the single source purchase.
