The Florida Department of Children and Families issued contract C78F83 for medical records acquisition services supporting Children's Legal Services operations. This blanket purchase order, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, establishes a mechanism to obtain medical records on an as-needed basis at a flat fee of $15.00 per request. The contract anticipates up to 500 records requests during the performance period, resulting in a total contract value of $500.

The contract authorizes Christine Kanhai (813-496-2500) and multiple attorneys and paralegals within Children's Legal Services to place requests for medical records retrieval. This arrangement provides the Department with flexible access to necessary medical documentation required for legal proceedings and case management activities, while establishing predictable unit costs for budgeting purposes. The contract's structure as a blanket purchase order allows the Department to procure records efficiently without requiring separate purchase orders for individual requests throughout the one-year performance period.
