About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Brevard County Board of County Commissioners' Fire/Ocean Rescue Department has issued a Notice of Intended Decision for sole source procurement of Watchtower Solutions, a digital command center and mobile-first software platform for lifeguard, marine safety, and beach patrol operations, with the protest period closing April 24, 2026.

This is a sole source acquisition under Florida Statutes section 287.057(5)(3)(c) and Brevard County Policy BCC-25. The department determined that Watchtower is the only known vendor capable of providing a fully integrated enterprise-level platform combining lifeguard-specific incident management with environmental data integration and USLA reporting compliance. The market review found no other public safety platform meeting these specialized operational requirements. Respondents who believe they can meet or exceed the stated requirements must submit convincing technical data by April 24, 2026 at 12:00 p.m.; the county reserves the right to cancel the sole source notice and advertise a formal solicitation if substantially similar products and services become available.

The Watchtower platform replaces manual and paper-based processes with real-time incident reporting, dispatch functionality, asset tracking, and data analytics. The estimated annual purchase amount is $14,880. The recommended vendor is Watchtower Solutions, represented by Will Taormina at (714) 316-9734 and will@yourwatchtower.com. The requesting department contact is Heather Riley at 321-617-7390 or heather.riley@brevardfl.gov, located at 2725 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Building C, Room 303, Viera, Florida 32940. The justification and approval form was submitted April 14, 2026; the notice was posted April 21, 2026.
