About this file
This is an attachment form for the Florida Department of Management Services' Telematic Asset Tracking Services and Related Equipment RFP, establishing a state term contract with potential for multiple statewide awards. The form, titled "Principal Place of Business Letter," requires respondents to certify their principal place of business location and provide authorized signature documentation. Respondents must select whether their principal place of business is located within Florida or outside the state. The procurement is overseen by Procurement Officer Nicole Walker at the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of State Purchasing, with responses submitted through the MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network. Vendors are responsible for monitoring the Vendor Information Portal (VIP) throughout the procurement process for updates and decisions.
For respondents with a principal place of business outside of Florida, completion of an additional legal opinion section is mandatory; failure to complete this section renders the response non-responsive. Out-of-state respondents must obtain a written opinion from an attorney licensed to practice law in the state where the company's principal place of business is located, certifying whether that state grants any business preferences in public contracting. The attorney's opinion must detail all applicable state preferences or confirm that no preferences exist. The form requires completion by authorized representatives and, where applicable, the out-of-state attorney, including printed names, signatures, dates, and contact information. This requirement derives from Florida Statutes Section 287.084(2), which mandates disclosure of any state preferences that could affect contract award decisions.
