Justification for Sole Source/Sole Brand Acquisition The construction associated with future projects intended for Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (Airport) will require coordination and connection to the software for baggage handling system controls, for which BCAD has an existing open-end contract in place with sole source vendor Brock Solutions U.S., Inc. When these systems are modified, expanded, monitored, tested, inspected or require repairs and maintenance, such contracts must use the approved, sole source Vendor to test, program, certify and maintain warranties, etc., that are in place. Use of a different system will not integrate with the existing system and may cause system failure thereby hindering baggage screening and causing a disruption to airlines operations.
