Engineering Services For Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Services for the Northeast Florida

The State of Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Real Estate Development and Management, is seeking qualified engineering firms to provide professional Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) services through a statewide continuing contract for the Northeast Florida Region (RFQ REDM2526-07). The procurement will cover engineering services for new construction and renovations involving HVAC systems, building control systems, plumbing, fire protection, power systems, lighting, low and medium voltage service, facility assessments, cost estimates, and life cycle cost analyses. Key submission requirements include a letter of interest, Professional Qualifications Supplement (Form AE12a), project listing with client contacts, current Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation license, GSA Standard Form 330, and various certifications. Evaluation criteria will focus on office location proximity, previous DMS and state agency work volume, current workload, proposed staff experience, relevant design experience, and contract delivery capabilities. Critical dates include question submissions due by January 13, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., response submissions due by February 5, 2026 at 4:00 p.m., vendor interview postings anticipated on March 3, 2026, interviews scheduled for March 19, 2026, and an anticipated contract start date of August 31, 2026.

Respondents must be currently licensed and registered in Florida and, if applicable, registered with the Florida Department of State. At least three firms will be selected for interviews based on their qualifications, with the Department reserving the right to reject non-responsive submissions or cancel the procurement entirely. The procurement is open to all qualified engineering firms meeting the specified requirements, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises noted in the documentation. Submissions must be made on thumb drives as scanned Adobe PDF files, and all materials are subject to Florida public records law, with firms claiming confidential information required to provide a redacted copy with appropriate statutory citations. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated, the statewide continuing contract suggests potential for multiple project opportunities across the Northeast Florida Region. Strict communication guidelines are in place, with the Construction Procurement Liaison being the sole point of contact, and no direct communication with state employees permitted between the RFQ release and 72 hours after the notice of intended award posting.
