Intent to Enter into Agency Negotiations for Contract for Door Magnet Project

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) intends to negotiate a contract for a Door Magnet Project under the provisions of Florida Statute 287.057(6). This contract opportunity was originally solicited through ITB-25-024, but less than two responsive bids were received. The subject matter of the contract includes door closures, safety control devices, and safety and security system installation services. FSDB will negotiate the best terms and conditions for the provision of these products and services, and the original solicitation has been withdrawn. The contract will have a protest period, where a notice of protest must be submitted to FSDB in writing within 72 hours of the Notification of Intent to Award, and a formal written protest must be submitted within 10 days after the date the notice of protest is filed. The protest procedure will be governed by Florida Statutes 120.57(3) and may require the payment of a Protest Bond in accordance with 28-110-005, F.S.

The procurement is limited to FSDB and St. Johns County, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent or contractor information is not provided, nor is any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The award value or budget range is also not specified in the available information.
