2027 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is seeking vendor information regarding its intent to procure survey research services for the 2027 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation through single-source procurement, with vendor responses due June 22, 2026 at 1:45 p.m. ET. This is not a competitive solicitation; the agency intends to award to the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago and is posting this notice to comply with Florida Statutes sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3).

The scope requires distributing the same questionnaire used in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's national survey to additional Florida respondents to generate state and regional estimates of participation and expenditures in fishing, hunting, and wildlife-associated recreation. The contractor must have access to the national questionnaire and NORC's proprietary AmeriSpeak survey panel to enable state-level implementation alongside the national survey. Data collection spans January 2027 through March 2028, with a three-year contract term from purchase order execution.

Deliverables include a weighted dataset, a comprehensive results report, presentation slides, and additional analytical support. The estimated contract value is $174,500. The agency justifies single-source procurement on the grounds that NORC is the sole contractor implementing the 2027 National Survey for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and therefore the only source with the required questionnaire access and survey panel infrastructure.

Prospective vendors must submit written information regarding their ability to supply these services to Adrian Wiggins at the Tallahassee office by the June 22, 2026 deadline. The notice will remain posted for at least 15 business days.
