Summary
Broward County has issued a Request for Information (RFI), solicitation number BLD6232026F19, to determine whether Panasonic TOUGHBOOK® equipment and related services can be procured from multiple vendors or if equivalent alternative products exist that would meet the County's operational needs. The County currently uses Panasonic TOUGHBOOK® equipment (notably for fire rescue operations over the past 15+ years) and is considering a sole source/sole brand designation; vendors are invited to submit information contesting that designation or demonstrating comparable products. Responses must address compatibility, functionality, and availability of alternative equipment/services and are due by July 31, 2026, with the primary contact being Neda Augusto at naugusto@broward.org.
