XRY Software License Renewal

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting a statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement of an intended single source procurement for an XRY software license renewal from Micro Systemation (MSAB). This is not a competitive request for bid or proposal, but rather a notice of intended single source purchase as required by Florida law. The procurement involves an annual software license renewal for XRY digital forensic software, which enables FDLE examiners to extract and analyze evidence from digital devices through both logical and physical extraction methods, including access to live data, file systems, protected files, and deleted data on mobile devices. The contract term runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and the deadline for receipt of information regarding this procurement is April 23, 2026. FDLE justifies the single source procurement on the grounds that MSAB is the sole developer and provider of XRY digital forensic software, with no competing products offering equivalent functionality for FDLE's investigative mission requirements under Chapter 943, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 11, Florida Administrative Code. The intended single source vendor is MSAB Incorporated, located at 241 18th Street South, Suite 202, Arlington, Virginia 22202, with contract inquiries directed to Carrie LaJeunesse at the FDLE Central Purchasing office (850-410-7300).

As a statutorily mandated single source procurement, this opportunity contains no set-aside designations or restrictions based on organization type, disadvantaged enterprise status, or other procurement preferences. MSAB Incorporated serves as both the incumbent vendor and the sole identified vendor capable of providing the required XRY software licenses and annual upgrades. The procurement does not involve integration with competing technology platforms, as XRY is the specified and sole-source solution for FDLE's digital forensic operations. The estimated dollar amount for this annual license renewal is $46,000.00. The procurement was approved by Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services, and Jason Bundy, Assistant Commissioner, with the posting date of April 2, 2026, establishing the beginning of the mandatory fifteen business day advertisement period required before FDLE may proceed with the single source purchase.
