Contract C78A8C

The Florida Department of Children and Families has awarded a purchase order to Pitney Bowes for the continuation of an equipment lease effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with a contract value of $982. This purchase order (C78A8C) represents the fourth year of a five-year original equipment lease agreement established on March 1, 2024. The equipment being leased consists of four SendPro C Series mailing machines, with quarterly invoicing set at $245.64 per unit ($81.88 monthly per unit). The lease equipment is located at 5920 Arlington Expressway, Jacksonville, Florida, and the performance period aligns with the State's fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

This continuing lease agreement replaces the prior purchase order (C5AD05) which expired on June 30, 2026, and maintains the existing Pitney Bowes contract terms and account numbers. The purchase order is contingent upon annual appropriation by the Florida Legislature, and the vendor is responsible for equipment retrieval upon contract expiration unless a written extension or renewal is provided in advance. A fifth year purchase order and final year arrangement remain to be determined as part of the original five-year lease term through February 28, 2029.
