The contract is coded under NIGP 89064 and involves annual budget allocation with a current contract expiration date of January 31, 2026, and potential renewal through January 31, 2027.

The estimated annual budget for this procurement is $130,000, with the county having already encumbered $36,924.41 on FY25 Purchase Order 465587 and budgeting an additional $130,000.00 for FY26. CUES Inc. is the incumbent vendor and has maintained an existing contract with Pinellas County since July 18, 2006.
