IAAO Training Materials

The Florida Department of Revenue is pursuing a single-source procurement for International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) training materials and related services under this state contract opportunity. The procurement seeks comprehensive training materials, examinations, and grading services to support statutory requirements under Section 195.002, Florida Statutes, specifically designed to upgrade skills for state and local assessment personnel. The contract will span from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with a total estimated value of $571,350.00. Prospective vendors must submit written documentation demonstrating their ability to supply the requested services, with submissions due no later than 2:30 p.m. ET on January 16, 2026. Submissions should be directed to Ed Valla, Procurement Manager, at the Florida Department of Revenue's Tallahassee headquarters. The procurement will be processed through a PUR 7776 Intended Single Source notice, which requires vendors to provide detailed information about their capabilities.

IAAO is being identified as the sole source vendor due to its status as a non-profit, professional membership organization recognized as the industry standard in assessment administration and accreditation. The organization's training materials are proprietary and copyrighted, which precludes competition from alternative vendors. The procurement is classified under UNSPSC code 86101810 for training materials and complies with Chapter 12-9, Florida Administrative Code, and Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), Florida Statutes. The contract will be overseen by the Property Tax Oversight Compliance Assistance Process division, with Program Director Rene Lewis providing direct oversight. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The single-source nature of the procurement suggests that IAAO is the exclusive potential contractor for these specialized training and examination services.
