The state and local contract opportunity involves a sponsorship with the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations, Inc. (CFEF) for the implementation of the 2025-2026 Lighting the Way to a Brighter Future program, specifically located in Leon County, Florida. The procurement is being conducted by the Florida Department of the Lottery, which has issued a Notice of Intended Decision to award the contract to CFEF under Rule 53ER07-55(8)(a) of the Florida Administrative Code. The sponsorship appears to focus on educational programming, though specific deliverables and program details are not explicitly outlined in the available documentation. The contract opportunity was posted on November 19, 2025, with a due date of November 24, 2025. Interested parties have a 72-hour window from the electronic posting to file a formal written protest with the Agency Clerk, accompanied by a required protest bond, in accordance with Sections 287.042(2)(c) and 120.57(3) of the Florida Statutes.

The documentation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on respondent types. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned, and there is no information provided about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. Similarly, the available documents do not disclose the specific award value, budget range, or financial details associated with the sponsorship. The notice appears to be a final award decision rather than an initial solicitation, which limits the amount of procedural and financial information available for review. Potential vendors interested in understanding more about the program or challenging the intended decision would need to directly contact the Florida Department of the Lottery at the specified address in Tallahassee.
