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 single core services provider to design, implement, and manage a statewide telecommunications network infrastructure supporting approximately 3,500 connections for state agencies, eligible non-profits, and governmental entities in Clay, Leon, and Polk Counties. The contract will provide core network services including MPLS, internet access, VPN, SD-WAN, and security services, with an initial seven-year term that includes an 18-month migration period. Proposals are due by September 8, 2025, with an anticipated contract award in October 2026.

The scoring sheet outlines a complex evaluation methodology allocating 100 total points across technical and pricing categories, with significant weight given to areas such as Scope of Work (technical solution), Support Services, and E-Rate Eligible Pricing. The estimated annual enterprise expenditure is approximately $60 million, though no minimum spend is guaranteed. The procurement 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. The current incumbent, L3Harris Technologies, will be replaced by this new contract, which aims to reduce service costs, improve service quality, and increase long-term value for the state.
