The Florida Department of Children and Families awarded contract C77ED6 for legal advertisement services effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. This blanket purchase order, valued at $9,000, provides on-call publication services required for due process compliance when parents cannot be located in petitions for Termination of Parental Rights. The contract operates on a fixed-price basis with a tiered pricing structure: $11.98 for four-line advertisements with $1.33 per additional line, plus a $2.00 notarized affidavit fee per weekly advertisement. Consecutive placements in the second, third, and fourth weeks receive a 15 percent discount applied to the total price. The contract contact is Stefano McGregor at (772) 834-3853.

Under this agreement, the prime contractor must provide one original clerked copy per week of each publication for court filing and ensure all services comply with applicable licensing rules, service standards, and state administrative rules and laws. The contractor shall deliver services on an as-needed basis throughout the contract period. This purchase order replaces the previous fiscal year purchase order C5AB30 and represents the anticipated annual requirement for the Department's legal advertisement needs.
