This Invitation to Bid (ITB) is issued by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District One for the procurement of LED highway lighting fixtures and parts. FDOT is seeking competitive bids for the purchase of various LED luminaire types, light shields, bracket arms, and tenons to be used within FDOT District One, which covers counties in southwest Florida.

Pricing must be firm, net, and delivered, with freight, shipping, and taxes included. FDOT will apply a 5% in-state preference if the lowest responsive bidder is located outside of Florida, unless the out-of-state bidder's home state provides a similar preference.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the ITB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
