The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) awarded a blanket purchase order contract valued at $410,000.00 to an unnamed prime contractor for the supply of natural gas on an as-needed basis. The contract, designated C7967B, was effective July 1, 2026, through October 31, 2026, superseding previous purchase order C5CCEC under commodity code 405-215. This blanket purchase order authorizes the vendor to provide estimated quantities of natural gas to DCF facilities as called for by the agency during the contract period.

The contract incorporates standard terms requiring the vendor to warrant that prices charged to DCF will not exceed those offered to the vendor's most favored customers for comparable quantities. Authorized personnel for the issuance of purchase calls and invoice approvals are Steven Padgett (904-330-2236) and Diana Nielsen (904-330-2216) at DCF. The purchase order is subject to cancellation by either party upon thirty days' written notice or immediately if products or services fail to meet agency performance standards. The contract shall expire on June 30 following the date of issuance or upon expenditure of the total dollar amount, whichever occurs first, with performance and payment obligations contingent upon annual legislative appropriation by the State of Florida.
