Sole Source-Redaction Software

The City of Port St. Lucie is seeking to procure CaseGuard Studio Ultimate Suite, a proprietary redaction software, on a sole‑source basis because it uniquely integrates with the city’s existing Axon ecosystem. The software provides automated AI‑driven redaction of video, audio, and document files, along with editing and enhancement tools, and is licensed on an annual basis. The city estimates an annual expenditure of $18,192 for the license, which includes a large pool of AI credits and dedicated support. The procurement is being announced publicly to maintain transparency, but no competitive bidding process is being initiated. • Sole‑source purchase of CaseGuard Studio Ultimate Suite (redaction software). • Annual license cost: $18,192 (approximately $379 per month). • Software integrates with existing Axon video‑evidence system. • Includes 2,016,000 AI credits (≈1,680 hours of detection) and dedicated account manager. • Intended for use by police department to expedite public‑records redaction. • No competitive bids, RFQ, or RFP; vendors may submit a statement of capability only. • Contract likely runs on a one‑year renewable basis.
