The Florida Department of Children and Families has awarded contract C78FD9 for the provision of expert witness testimony and deposition services. The blanket purchase order, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, is designated to support the Children's Legal Services division in Circuit 3 on an as-needed basis. The contract carries a total value of $250 and replaces the prior fiscal year purchase order C5A576. Services will be delivered in accordance with an attached rate sheet that establishes pricing parameters for individual expert witness engagements.

This purchase order establishes a mechanism for Florida's Department of Children and Families to procure specialized expert witness services as required for legal proceedings within the specified circuit. The contract structure accommodates variable demand through its as-needed framework, allowing the state agency to engage expert witnesses for testimony and depositions throughout the contract period without requiring advance commitment of specific quantities beyond the 250-unit ceiling.
