About this file

This is a Principal Place of Business Letter attachment for an Agriculture and Lawn Equipment Invitation to Bid (ITB No. 26-25101900-ITB) issued by the Florida Department of Management Services. The document serves as a mandatory submission requirement for bidders responding to the state term contract solicitation. Bidders must complete and submit this form to indicate their principal place of business location and comply with Florida Statutes Section 287.084(2) requirements. The solicitation seeks to establish a statewide term contract for agriculture and lawn equipment with the potential for multiple awards across regions or statewide, as determined in the State's best interest. Interested vendors must submit responses through the MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network, and all procurement-related information and updates will be posted on the Vendor Information Portal (VIP).

The Principal Place of Business Letter requires bidders to select whether their company's principal place of business is located within Florida or outside the state. Bidders with a Florida principal place of business need only provide their printed company name, authorized representative signature, and date. Out-of-state bidders must provide a written legal 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 preferences to in-state business entities in public contracting. The legal opinion must detail any applicable state preferences or confirm the absence of such preferences. Failure to complete the out-of-state section will result in a finding of non-responsiveness. The procurement officer is Chris Molina, Purchasing Analyst, at the Florida Department of Management Services, and all email communications regarding the solicitation must include the solicitation number in the subject line.
