Sole Source w/Smith Detection

Brevard County is pursuing a sole source procurement for an advanced dual-view X-ray inspection system from Smiths Detection, specifically for the Moore Justice Center's Public Works/Facilities department. The procurement involves acquiring a specialized X-ray system designed for automatic detection of explosives and liquids, with unique capabilities that eliminate the need for re-positioning or re-scanning objects during inspections. The system will include comprehensive service, repair, preventative maintenance, and parts replacement, with Smiths Detection being identified as the sole authorized vendor due to being the original equipment manufacturer. The procurement notice was posted on September 3, 2025, with a response deadline of September 8, 2025, at 12:00 pm, under Sole Source ID # 4900902. Potential respondents who believe they can meet or exceed the specified requirements are invited to provide technical data supporting their position, with the potential for Brevard County to cancel the notice and proceed with a formal solicitation if alternative vendors can supply substantially similar products or services.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The estimated annual purchase amount is $15,000.00, with Smiths Detection being justified as the sole source vendor based on their status as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary design and manufacturing capabilities. No incumbent vendors are identified beyond Smiths Detection, and the system will be integrated into the existing infrastructure at the Moore Justice Center. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with section 287.057(5)(3)(c) of Florida Statutes and Brevard County Policy BCC-25 for Sole Source acquisitions.
