The contract term will be for an initial five-year period with an option to renew for up to an additional five years. The ITB includes detailed requirements, timelines, and instructions for submitting bids electronically through MyFloridaMarketPlace.

The ITB gives preference to Florida businesses in accordance with state law, but does not include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The historical spend information provided indicates the anticipated contract value across the various furniture sub-categories, which totals over $6.7 million. The ITB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and does not specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. Bidders may provide optional volume discounts for orders over $50,000 and discounts on optional accessories throughout the life of the contract.
