About this file
This is a PUR 7776 single-source purchase justification document filed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) for the procurement of trade show exhibit booth services. The FDACS Division of Marketing and Development intends to rent booth space for the "Fresh From Florida" pavilion at the International Fresh Produce Association Global Produce and Floral Show to market and promote Florida agricultural products and reach consumers, agriculture industry members, and educators. The procurement is authorized under Chapter 570, Florida Statutes, which authorizes the Department to promote Florida agricultural products. The posting was made on July 21, 2026, with a deadline for prospective vendors to submit information regarding their ability to supply the requested services by August 11, 2026. The contract execution date is set for June 30, 2027.
The estimated contract amount is approximately $311,000.00, with an approximate contract cap of up to $500,000.00. The FDACS justifies this single-source acquisition on the basis that the International Fresh Produce Association is the sole host and provider of booth space for the International Fresh Produce Association Global Produce and Floral Show, making it the only known source capable of providing this specific service. The procurement was approved by multiple FDACS officials, including the Development Representative Supervisor, Bureau Chief of Seafood and Agriculture Marketing, Director of the Division of Marketing and Development, and the Purchasing Director II and Director of the Division of Administration. This advertisement serves as the statutorily required 15-business-day notice of the Department's intent to enter into the single-source agreement, allowing prospective vendors an opportunity to demonstrate alternative capabilities to supply the requested commodities or services.
