Intent_to_Award_Notice_ITB_25-08_Golf_Cart_Batteries.pdf

This Intent to Award Notice pertains to Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-08 issued by the State of Florida for the procurement of golf cart batteries. The solicitation was posted on February 9, 2026, with a submission deadline of February 23, 2026. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to supply Trojan brand golf cart batteries or approved equal alternatives in specified quantities and configurations to support state agency operations and authorized users. Two addenda were issued on February 9 and February 18, 2026, providing clarifications and modifications to the original ITB requirements, including specifications for approved equivalent battery models, pricing structures, and delivery terms. All prospective bidders were required to acknowledge receipt of both addenda and incorporate their requirements into their proposals to be considered responsive. The documentation does not specify the award date or contract term length, though the centralized procurement structure suggests the awarded vendor may supply multiple state agencies and authorized users under a potential framework agreement for ongoing battery supply needs.

The provided materials do not disclose the budget range, anticipated award value, or specific pricing terms for this procurement. Similarly, no information regarding set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, incumbent vendor details, or restrictions on bidder eligibility is available in the Intent to Award Notice. The complete bid document, approximately nine megabytes in size, contains additional details regarding evaluation criteria, contract terms, payment conditions, and specific delivery requirements necessary for vendors to prepare competitive proposals. Interested suppliers were advised to obtain and review all three documents—the primary bid document and both addenda—to ensure full understanding of the procurement requirements and submission procedures.
