The Florida Department of State issued Request for Proposal (RFP) Solicitation No. DOS-RFP-25/26-108 for the installation of Level 5 ballistic panels at the R.A. Gray Building in Tallahassee, Florida. The solicitation was released on April 10, 2026, with a mandatory site visit requirement scheduled for April 17, 2026, allowing vendors to assess the installation location and requirements firsthand. The deadline for vendors to submit written questions was April 21, 2026, with anticipated responses posted on April 23, 2026. Proposals were required to be submitted by April 27, 2026, at 2:00 P.M. EST, followed by a proposal opening conference call at 3:00 P.M. EST the same day. The procurement process included an evaluation team briefing on April 28, 2026, with internal evaluations commencing on April 29, 2026, an evaluation team debriefing anticipated for May 1, 2026, and a Notice of Intent to Award expected on May 4, 2026. The goods and services procured encompassed the design, supply, and installation of Level 5 ballistic protective panels, representing a critical security infrastructure enhancement project.

This procurement has been cancelled pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 287.057(5), as the Department of State received fewer than two responsive sealed proposals. The solicitation has been reclassified as an exceptional purchase exempt from competitive solicitation requirements under Section 287.057(6), Florida Statutes, allowing the Department to proceed with direct procurement. Vendors and other parties adversely affected by the cancellation decision may file a Notice of Protest with the Agency Clerk in the Department's Office of General Counsel at DOS.GeneralCounsel@dos.fl.gov, provided such protests comply with Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3) and are filed within the prescribed timeframe with required bond posting; failure to meet these procedural requirements constitutes a waiver of protest rights under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. No specific budget range, award value, or incumbent contractor information is disclosed in the available documentation. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting organizational eligibility were indicated in the solicitation materials.
