ESST and CHT Task Force

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Master Agreement M5005 provides a comprehensive framework for reimbursing local law enforcement agency task force members participating in FDLE-led investigative operations outside their standard jurisdictional boundaries. This Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) specifically supports the Electronic Surveillance Support Team and Cyber High Tech Task Force, enabling multi-agency collaboration through a Mutual Aid Agreement (MAA). The contract facilitates technical assistance, equipment support, and cross-jurisdictional investigative capabilities within Florida's law enforcement ecosystem.

The master agreement was awarded to the City of Lakeland, with a performance period from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. The contract provides financial support up to $12,500 per task force member, with a total available funding of $300,000. Reimbursable expenses include overtime pay, travel costs, training expenses, mileage, vehicles, fuel, and personnel-related expenditures directly tied to FDLE-approved training and joint investigative operations. As a state-level master agreement, this IDV covers the entire state of Florida and operates as a cost-reimbursement type contract, requiring comprehensive documentation and verification of all claimed expenses.
