Guy Harvey Ocean Fund, Inc.

The Florida Department of the Lottery has issued a Notice of Intended Decision for a single source contract with Guy Harvey Ocean Fund, Inc., specifically targeting a trademark-related procurement in Leon County. The procurement is being conducted under Rule 53ER07-55(8) of the Florida Administrative Code, indicating a direct award process rather than a competitive bidding scenario. While specific details about deliverables are not explicitly outlined in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be centered on trademark rights associated with the Guy Harvey Ocean Fund. The notice was posted on January 7, 2025, with a response deadline of January 10, 2025, providing a very narrow window for potential protest or challenge. Any interested parties seeking to contest the intended decision must file a formal protest with the Agency Clerk located at 250 Marriott Drive in Tallahassee within 72 hours of electronic posting, and must include a required protest bond as part of their submission.

The procurement appears to be a non-competitive, single-source contract without explicit set-aside designations or specific restrictions on organizational respondents. No information is provided regarding incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure, or technology integration requirements. The Notice of Intended Decision does not disclose any specific award values, budget ranges, or financial terms associated with the contract. Potential respondents are subject to strict procedural requirements, including the mandatory protest filing process outlined in the document. Failure to file a protest within the prescribed timeframe will result in a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of Florida Statutes. The contract seems to be directly awarded to Guy Harvey Ocean Fund, Inc. based on their ownership of a specific trademark, suggesting a unique procurement strategy focused on proprietary rights.
