Hats for sun protection for inspections

The Florida Department of Health has awarded contract EP487204 for the procurement of sun protection hats, specifically designed for inspection purposes. The contract, valued at $103, involves the purchase of 8 hats at a unit price of $12.95 each. The contract period spans from the award date of November 4, 2025, to the completion date of June 30, 2026.

This state-level procurement appears to be a targeted acquisition of personal protective equipment (PPE) for department personnel conducting field inspections. The relatively low-value contract suggests a focused, limited-scope requirement for protective headwear to mitigate sun exposure during outdoor work activities. The contract demonstrates a deliberate approach to equipping staff with appropriate safety gear through a structured government procurement process.
