The Florida Department of Health has awarded a postage meter lease contract effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with a total contract value of $2,129.64. The contract represents the fifth through eighth quarters of a sixty-month lease agreement (Lease #N22013994A) with Quadient for Quadient iX-5 Series postage machines equipped with auto-feeder, sealer, catch tray, ink cartridge, and differential weighing capabilities. The equipment supports departmental mailing operations across five cost centers: the Environmental Health Department (35.07%), Cleanup Program (18.61%), Tanks Program (13.6%), Environmental Assessment Program (4.29%), and Fiscal/General Administration (28.43%). Services are billed quarterly at a combined rate of $532.41 per quarter across all cost centers and are characterized as essential to departmental operations, requiring advance quarterly payment arrangements pursuant to Florida Statute 215.422(14).

The contract is performed at the Florida Department of Health-Escambia location with four authorized users managing the equipment: Louviminda Curry, Denise Weeks, Shelly McLeod, and Marrie Favorite. The lease continuation demonstrates the department's ongoing reliance on metered postage services for critical administrative correspondence and communications. As an incremental contract action under an existing master lease agreement, this award sustains operational continuity without requiring competitive re-procurement for the specified twelve-month period.
