This is a Single Source Justification Form (SSJF) submitted by the Duval County Tourist Development Council (TDC) to the City of Jacksonville's Finance & Administration Department, Procurement Division, requesting authorization to procure regional marketing services from Florida's First Coast of Golf (FFCG) for fiscal year 2026-2027 under City Contract 72890-26. The TDC seeks to engage FFCG to provide direct marketing and industry development services specifically for golf-related tourism activities in Northeast Florida. The contract encompasses agency-level collateral development, industry representation, and strategic partnership coordination that will enable the TDC to leverage its market position competitively against state and national competitors. The request was submitted on October 5, 2026.
The justification for single source procurement centers on FFCG's unique regional positioning and comprehensive service capabilities. Market research conducted by Carol Brock, Executive Director of the TDC, through web searches confirmed that FFCG is the only regionally based nonprofit entity providing full-service golf tourism marketing in the area and the only such organization partnering with Jacksonville Aviation Authority (JAA), The Players Championship, regional golf and accommodation providers, and visitors bureaus. The requesting agency affirms no actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest exist with FFCG consistent with Chapter 112, Florida Statutes. Supporting documentation includes a supplier quote, director-signed single source memo, and administrative award materials containing implementation minutes, scope of work, and budgets.
