Florida Trend Magazine Publication

The state of Florida, through the Florida Board of Governors, is seeking to procure a single-source contract with Florida Trend magazine to provide articles highlighting the State University System (SUS) of Florida in their publications over a one-year period. The total estimated value of the contract is $70,000. Florida Trend, described as the only statewide monthly business publication in Florida that reaches a readership of 270,000, including business leaders and political decision-makers across the state, will feature data, information, and highlights about the SUS and its 12 institutions in their June 2024, July 2024, and September 2024 issues, as well as the NEXT publication for high school juniors and seniors. The Board has determined that Florida Trend is the only publication that can provide the intended services, and prospective vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the requested services.

The procurement is a single-source acquisition, and the Board has determined that the commodities or contractual services are available only from this single source. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the Board has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The contract value of $70,000 represents the total budget range for this opportunity.
