Manufactured Homes for Staff Housing

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) to secure responsive and responsible bids from vendors to provide manufactured homes for staff housing at various correctional institutions throughout the state. The ITB specifies the required item types, including 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-wide and double-wide manufactured homes in Wind Zones I, II, and III across 4 Regions, with estimated quantities totaling 50 units. Vendors must bid on all items within a Region for their bid to be considered responsive for that Region, and the Department intends to award to the responsible vendor who submits the responsive bid with the lowest grand total price, per Region. The bid deadline is August 23, 2022 at 3:00 PM ET, and the anticipated award date is August 29, 2022. The resulting contract will be for one year, with up to three one-year renewal options.

The ITB does not appear to include any specific set-aside requirements, but it does provide preferences for Florida-based vendors and certified minority, veteran, and drug-free workplace businesses in the event of tie bids. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the ITB does not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The ITB does not provide specific award values or budget ranges, but the Department intends to apply a preference to Florida-based vendors as indicated.
