Sole Source Notice - Fingerprint Capture and Enhancement System Core

This is not a Request for Proposal, and no solicitation is available. The purpose of this notice is to inform the supplier community and the public that the City of Port St. Lucie intends to enter into a non‑competitive contract (commonly referred to as a bid waiver or sole source) for the purchase of a product or service, under the authority of and in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c).

By publishing this notice, the City seeks to:

• Enhance transparency in its procurement practices.

• Encourage full and open competition where applicable; and

• Provide potential suppliers with the opportunity to identify themselves.

Suppliers who believe they are qualified are invited to submit a statement of capability to the contact listed in this document. Any responses received as a result of this Notice will be reviewed solely to determine whether a competitive procurement process is warranted. Responses will not be considered proposals, bids, or quotes.

The multi-component laboratory imaging and capture system currently in use is no longer supported following the closure of SPEX Forensics in the summer of 2025. The proposed DCS6 system will replace the existing fingerprint imaging platform as well as significantly enhance functionality.
