Software Licenses

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is pursuing a single-source procurement for confidential software licenses from Marinus Analytics, LLC, specifically targeting information retrieval and search software for the FDLE Office of Investigations and Forensic Science. This procurement is being conducted under Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3) of Florida Statutes, with a contract term spanning from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026. The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2025, with a final date for receipt of information set for April 22, 2025. The software licenses are critical to FDLE's investigative mission, with Marinus Analytics identified as the sole provider of the unique technology, processes, and specifications required. The procurement is specifically a software license renewal, focused on supporting confidential investigative tactics and information management capabilities. Key objectives include maintaining technological capabilities for law enforcement information retrieval and search functions within the FDLE's investigative framework.

The procurement appears to be a direct, single-source acquisition with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents. Marinus Analytics is the incumbent and proposed vendor, with an estimated contract value of $50,000.00 for the one-year license renewal. The solicitation was approved by Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services, and Jeffery Watson, Special Agent in Charge, indicating internal administrative support for the procurement. While the document does not outline specific integration requirements, the software is understood to be a continuation of existing investigative technology used by FDLE. The procurement is geographically scoped to Leon County, Florida, and represents a targeted, specialized acquisition of technological capabilities specific to law enforcement information management. No additional vendors or competitive bidding process is anticipated due to the single-source nature of the procurement.
