The Florida Department of Children and Families has issued a blanket purchase order (C79C43) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, for expert witness testimony services in dependency cases before the 17th Judicial Circuit. The contract, valued at $2,499.00, operates on an as-needed basis with testimony services delivered as called for by the court. This order supersedes the previous year's purchase order (PO#C5A923) and is structured with a unit price of $1.00 per service call, with an anticipated quantity of 2,499 instances over the contract period.

The engagement provides the Department of Children and Families with access to expert witness testimony required for trial proceedings in dependency matters within the 17th Judicial Circuit. The blanket purchase order structure allows for flexible utilization of services throughout the fiscal year based on actual court-ordered requirements, enabling the department to obtain specialized expert testimony without requiring individual competitive procurements for each instance.
