The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has awarded a contract (C62B47) to the University of Central Florida's Florida Solar Energy Center for comprehensive review services related to the 9th Edition (2026) Florida Building Code. The contract, valued at $43,019.00, covers the period from December 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and requires the prime contractor to conduct multiple detailed reviews of the integrated draft building code.

Specifically, the contract mandates two primary review tasks: first, the contractor will review the Energy Conservation section of the building code, and second, a designated subcontractor will review multiple additional code sections including Building, Residential, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel Gas, Existing Building, and Testing Protocols. The reviews will occur between December 2025 and March 2026, with each review cycle requiring a three-week completion timeline. Deliverables include an interim report in matrix format to be submitted within three weeks of receiving the integrated first draft, with allowances for submission by January 23, 2026, if the initial due date falls in December 2025.
