Statewide Software & Equipment Customer Care Packages

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) intends to enter into a single source contract with Florida Level & Transit Co., Inc. for Statewide Software and Equipment Customer Care Packages, specifically covering Leica surveying hardware and software. The procurement focuses on equipment, maintenance, and support for surveying tools supporting the Department's Surveying and Mapping efforts and the Florida Permanent Reference Network (FPRN). Deliverables include comprehensive coverage of surveying equipment such as controllers, an iCON tablet, Total Stations, 3D Laser Scanners, digital levels, GNSS base station receivers, and GNSS rovers, along with all associated reference network processing software. The contract's critical objectives include maintaining updated software and firmware versions, tracking additional satellite frequencies, and ensuring manufacturer support for complex technical issues. The procurement is specifically for Leon County and is posted on August 27, 2025, with proposals due by September 2, 2025, adhering to Section 287.057(5) of Florida Statutes.

The contract appears to be a single source procurement with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Florida Level & Transit Co., Inc. is identified as the sole authorized distributor for the State of Florida, effectively limiting competitive bidding. The total contract value is $366,037.65, with a specific focus on supporting disaster response capabilities through GNSS corrections and emergency mapping technologies. The procurement's justification stems from Leica's nationwide vendor agreement and the critical nature of maintaining up-to-date surveying and mapping infrastructure. The contract will enable FDOT to maintain essential technological capabilities for emergency response teams, infrastructure monitoring, and disaster assessment. The single source nature of the contract suggests that Florida Level & Transit Co., Inc. possesses unique capabilities or exclusive distribution rights that make them the preferred and only viable vendor for these specialized surveying and equipment customer care packages.
