Cold-Seal Medication Blister Cards

The Florida Department of Corrections (Department) is seeking to procure cold-seal medication blister cards through an exceptional purchase process due to receiving less than two responsive bids for their previous solicitation, FDC ITB-22-034. The Department has determined it is in the best interest of the state to negotiate the best terms and conditions for this purchase, which will not be subject to the requirements for competitive procurement. The contract opportunity is for the provision of cold-seal medication blister cards, with the jurisdictions included being Leon County and the City of Tallahassee. No other details regarding deliverables, key objectives, required qualifications, or evaluation criteria are provided in the Notice of Withdrawal and Negotiation.

The Notice does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to the negotiation process. Additionally, no information is provided regarding any incumbent vendors, current contractors, existing infrastructure or technology requirements, or possible award values or budget ranges. The Department will be contacting the vendor(s) invited to participate in the negotiation process with further instructions, and this is not an award under the previous solicitation, FDC ITB-22-034.
