Description
The Florida Department of State is issuing a sole‑source award to Sirsi Corporation for ongoing maintenance, support, and hosting of the state’s SirsiDynix integrated library system (ILS). The contract will provide 24/7/365 technical support, daily backups, software upgrades, and hardware maintenance to ensure uninterrupted access to the State Library’s online catalog. This is a proprietary system with no alternative vendors, and the agency has justified the single‑source approach based on the unique capabilities of SirsiDynix.
• Scope: Annual support & maintenance, including hardware, software, upgrades, and 24/7 help‑desk.
• Value: $169,655.46 (as shown on the notice).
• Duration: Not explicitly stated; typical ILS support contracts are 1‑year renewable.
• Eligibility: Vendors must be the exclusive provider of SirsiDynix services; no competition.
