Golf Cart Batteries, Trojan or an Approved Equal

The State of Florida is conducting a competitive procurement through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25-08 for the supply of golf cart batteries, specifically Trojan brand batteries or approved equal alternatives. This solicitation was posted on February 9, 2026, with a submission deadline of February 23, 2026. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to supply golf cart batteries in specified quantities and configurations to support state agency operations and authorized users. The bid documentation establishes comprehensive requirements including technical specifications, quality standards, and performance criteria that proposed batteries must meet or exceed. Vendors are required to comply with all state procurement regulations and provide detailed pricing, delivery schedules, and product specifications as outlined in the primary bid document. The solicitation has been supplemented by two addenda (issued February 9 and February 18, 2026) that provide clarifications and modifications to the original ITB requirements, including specifications for approved equivalent battery models, pricing structures, and delivery terms. All prospective bidders must acknowledge receipt of both addenda and incorporate their requirements into their proposals to be considered responsive.

The available documentation does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, restrictions on bidder eligibility, or incumbent vendor information. Similarly, the budget range or anticipated award value for this golf cart battery procurement is not disclosed in the provided materials. The complete bid document, which is approximately 9 megabytes in size, would contain additional details regarding evaluation criteria, contract terms, payment conditions, and specific delivery requirements necessary for vendors to prepare competitive proposals. Interested suppliers should obtain and review all three documents—the primary bid document and both addenda—to ensure full understanding of the procurement requirements and submission procedures. The State of Florida's centralized procurement structure suggests that awarded vendors may supply multiple state agencies and authorized users, potentially creating a framework agreement for ongoing battery supply needs.
