Aquatic Informatics

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is seeking to procure the Aquarius Time Series (AQTS) cloud service from Aquatic Informatics, Inc. for a period of one year. The AQTS cloud service is used by DEP to store, manage, conduct data quality review, and provide access to continuous monitoring water quality data. The procurement is for the continued use of the AQTS application, which is uniquely designed for continuous monitoring data management and reporting. • The AQTS cloud service is currently used by DEP to store and manage data from 114 continuous monitoring locations statewide. • The AQTS application provides DEP with continuity of mission-critical processes and is necessary for access to continuous monitoring water quality data. • The estimated dollar amount for the procurement is $39,000. • The justification for single-source acquisition is that Aquarius is a proprietary software brand owned and operated by Aquatic Informatics, Inc., and there are no other authorized outside sales agents or representatives.
