Alchemy3, LLC.

The State of Florida Department of the Lottery is pursuing a single source contract with Alchemy3, LLC for the implementation of the Collect 'N Win Promotional Application. This procurement is specifically targeting Leon County and involves a direct contract award under Rule 53ER07-55(8)(a) of the Florida Administrative Code. The contract appears to be focused on a lottery-related promotional technology solution, though specific technical details are limited in the provided documentation. The notice was posted on November 12, 2024, with a response deadline of November 15, 2024, giving potential respondents a very short window to review and potentially protest the intended decision. Interested parties have 72 hours from the electronic posting to file a formal written protest with the Agency Clerk, accompanied by the required protest bond, in accordance with Florida statutes. The contract award is contingent upon successful completion of negotiation processes, and failure to file a protest within the prescribed timeframe will constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes.

While the document does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific organizational restrictions, it follows Florida's standard procurement protocols for single source contracts. No incumbent vendor information or existing infrastructure details are provided beyond the proposed contract with Alchemy3, LLC. The notice does not specify a contract value, budget range, or detailed scope of services for the Collect 'N Win Promotional Application. The procurement appears to be a direct award mechanism, which typically suggests the vendor was selected based on unique capabilities or prior performance. The contract seems to be directly issued by the Florida Department of the Lottery, with no indications of small business, minority-owned, or disadvantaged enterprise preferences being highlighted in the current documentation. Given the brevity of the notice and the quick turnaround time, potential respondents would need to carefully review the legal and procedural requirements for any protest actions.
