The Florida Department of Children and Families awarded contract C789ED to an unnamed prime contractor for service of process and legal notification services supporting the Circuit 8 Children's Legal Service Office. The contract, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, carries a total contract value of $3,000.00 and encompasses an estimated 3,000 service instances on an as-needed, called-for basis. This blanket purchase order replaces the prior fiscal year purchase order C5BFCD and establishes tiered pricing structures for multiple service categories, including skip-tracing fees, local service delivery within Duval, St. Johns, and Clay counties, rush services with expedited timeframes, non-local in-state services, and nationwide services.

The statement of work includes differentiated rate schedules based on geographic scope and service urgency. Local service fees are established at $55.00 for standard four-attempt service, $75.00 for 48-hour rush service, and $120.00 for 24-hour rush service. Non-local in-state and Nassau County, Florida services are priced at $65.00 with rush service available by quote. Nationwide services are quoted individually, ranging from $120.00 to $400.00 depending on scope and location. Additional provisions include skip-tracing at $100.00, printing charges of $0.20 per page beyond 30 pages, a $2.00 fuel surcharge per service, and variable pricing for out-of-state correctional and rural facilities billed on a per-service basis.
