Garron Lottery Products, Inc.

The State of Florida Department of the Lottery is issuing a Notice of Intended Decision for a single source contract award to Garron Lottery Products, Inc. for maintenance and support services of ball machines used in the Lottery's various games. The procurement encompasses all parts and labor necessary to maintain operational integrity of the ball machines, which were originally purchased from Garron Lottery Products, Inc. and continue to be serviced by the company. The contract has a four-year term with an estimated total value of $88,800.00. The Lottery justifies the single source designation based on critical integrity requirements in lottery drawings, as ball machines from different manufacturers cannot be integrated together without modifications that could introduce errors or fouls during drawing operations. Prospective vendors interested in demonstrating their capability to provide these specialized services are invited to submit information to purchasing@flalottery.com. The notice was posted on March 4, 2026, with a due date of March 13, 2026, and no specific site visits, bidder conferences, or question response dates have been identified.

No set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types are identified in this procurement notice. Garron Lottery Products, Inc. is identified as the current incumbent contractor and sole source provider, having originally supplied and maintained the Lottery's ball machine equipment. The procurement does not specify any disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. The Lottery reserves the right to issue an agency decision notice if information received from other potential vendors demonstrates that comparable commodities and services are available from alternative sources. Prospective vendors must understand that failure to file a protest within the timeframe prescribed in section 24.109(2)(a), Florida Statutes, constitutes a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. The estimated contract value of $88,800.00 over the four-year period represents the budget allocation for this specialized maintenance and support service.
