Florida High School Athletics Assoc. (FHSAA)

The State of Florida, Department of the Lottery, is seeking to award a sponsorship contract with the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) to support the Lottery's educational mission. The procurement opportunity focuses on engaging key stakeholders through high-impact events, targeted digital outreach, and year-round visibility at statewide athletic championships. The contract will be awarded pursuant to Rule 53ER07-55(8)(a) of the Florida Administrative Code, with the final agreement contingent upon successful negotiations. The notice was posted on November 24, 2025, with a response deadline of December 2, 2025. A formal protest period is established, requiring written protests to be filed within 72 hours of electronic posting on the Department of Management Services' Vendor Information Portal, and must be submitted to the Agency Clerk located at 250 Marriott Drive, Tallahassee, Florida 32301. Protests must be accompanied by the required protest bond and comply with sections 24.109(2)(a), 287.042(2)(c), and 120.57(3) of the Florida Statutes.

The contract opportunity does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no details provided about existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration. Additionally, the notice does not outline specific award values or budget ranges for the sponsorship. The procurement is specifically focused on Leon County, with the contract aimed at supporting the Lottery's broader educational mission through strategic partnership with the FHSAA. The lack of detailed financial information suggests that the specific terms of sponsorship and monetary value will likely be determined through the negotiation process between the Department of the Lottery and the FHSAA.
