Green savoree ST. Petersburg, LLC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to execute a single-source procurement with Green Savoree St. Petersburg, LLC for a sports event marketing program promoting the "Fresh from Florida" campaign during the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. This procurement is a statutorily mandated advertisement for a specialized multi-media advertising initiative aimed at increasing consumer awareness and driving retail sales of Florida agricultural products. The contract will involve creating strategic advertising placements and promotional opportunities exclusively within the sporting event, leveraging the vendor's unique ownership, licensing, naming rights, and trademark. Prospective alternative vendors are invited to provide relevant information demonstrating their capabilities by November 10, 2025. The contract term will run from the date of execution through June 2026, with the procurement authorized under Section 571.24, Florida Statutes, which directs the Department to promote agricultural commodities and related businesses.

The procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of vendor set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise participation, with Green Savoree St. Petersburg, LLC identified as the sole potential vendor due to its exclusive event control. The total estimated budget for this contract ranges up to $100,000, with an approximate contract amount of $85,000. No specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology are mentioned in the documentation. The contract will be administered by the Division of Marketing and Development, with approvals from Seafood and Agriculture Marketing and the Division of Administration. The justification for the single-source procurement centers on Green Savoree St. Petersburg, LLC's unique position as the only vendor capable of providing advertising placements within this specific sporting event, making traditional competitive bidding processes impractical.
