Systems With Intelligence Infrared Monitoring System

The City of Winter Park is pursuing a single-source procurement for a specialized Infrared Monitoring System from Systems With Intelligence (SWI) for fiscal year 2026. The procurement targets a utility-grade, real-time thermal monitoring system with advanced SCADA integration capabilities specifically designed for electric power substations. The system includes substation-hardened thermal cameras, visual cameras, and digital video servers that enable remote viewing, automated site scanning, streaming video, video snapshots, alarms, and thermal data point incorporation. The system must directly integrate with electric power applications such as SCADA, OSI Pi, and other data management software using DNP, Modbus, and 61850 protocols. The procurement is being conducted under Florida Statute 287.057, with the solicitation open for fifteen (15) business days from the September 18, 2025 posting date, and proposals are due by October 2, 2025. The system must comply with IEEE Standard IEE1613 and IEC 61850-3 environmental and testing requirements, and the city has determined that SWI is the only vendor meeting their operational requirements for system durability and advanced analytics without additional customization.

The procurement appears to be a sole-source acquisition with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The estimated spending for this procurement is $140,000, with the city acknowledging that this purchase will obligate them to SWI for future maintenance and potentially similar future purchases. SWI is positioned as the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of this unique monitoring system, with no comparable alternatives available in the market. The procurement includes a certification from the department head confirming that pricing is fair and reasonable and that no personal or familial benefits will be derived from recommending this vendor. The system will be integrated into existing electric utility infrastructure, specifically designed to enhance monitoring capabilities for electric power substations through advanced thermal and visual monitoring technologies.
