Attachment N-Negotiator Scoring Sheet.xlsx

The file is a Negotiator Scoring Sheet for the MyFloridaNet-3 Invitation to Negotiate (ITN No. DMS-24/25-260) issued by the Florida Department of Management Services. The solicitation seeks a comprehensive statewide telecommunications network infrastructure provider to replace the existing MyFloridaNet-2 contract, targeting a single core services provider to design, implement, and manage a network supporting approximately 3,500 connections for state agencies, eligible non-profits, and governmental entities in Clay, Leon, and Polk Counties. The procurement was posted on June 3, 2025, with proposals due by September 8, 2025, and an anticipated contract award in October 2026. The contract will have an initial seven-year term, including an 18-month migration period, and will provide core network services including MPLS, internet access, VPN, SD-WAN, security services, and centralized network management.

The scoring sheet indicates a complex evaluation methodology allocating 100 total points across technical and pricing categories, with significant emphasis on Scope of Work, Support Services, and E-Rate Eligible Pricing. The estimated annual enterprise expenditure is approximately $60 million, though this represents no guaranteed minimum spend. The contract includes a $60 million performance bond requirement and mandates compliance with Universal Service Fund regulations. Pricing will be based on a wholesale model with a DMS administrative fee, and services will be available on a month-to-month basis without quantity commitments or revenue guarantees. The current MFN-2 contract was previously held by L3Harris Technologies, and the new MFN-3 contract aims to reduce service costs, improve service quality, and increase long-term value for the state.
