The Florida Department of Children and Families has issued Blanket Purchase Order C78245 for expert witness and legal consultation services related to dependency and termination of parental rights (TPR) cases. This contract, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, establishes a framework agreement with a contract value of $6,000.00 at an hourly rate of $500.00. The services will be provided in the 19th Judicial Circuit and include expert witness testimony at trials, review of pertinent case records, and legal consultations with attorneys handling Child Legal Services dependency and TPR proceedings on an as-needed basis.

The engagement replaces the prior fiscal year 2025-2026 purchase order (C5B166) and designates Stefano McGregor as the primary contact and authorized user for this arrangement. Performance is scheduled to occur within the 19th Judicial Circuit jurisdiction in Florida. The blanket purchase order structure allows the Department of Children and Families to call upon these specialized expert services throughout the contract period as cases require, establishing predictable billing at the fixed hourly rate to support its dependency and termination of parental rights litigation.
