MyFloridaNet-3 RFI

The Florida Department of Management Services has issued a Request for Information (RFI) on May 11, 2026, to gather vendor information regarding network infrastructure and support services for MyFloridaNet-3. This RFI is intended for eligible users including State agencies, county and city governments, school districts, universities, community colleges, and non-profit organizations. The Department is seeking comprehensive information on vendors' capabilities to provide network infrastructure and support services that would serve this diverse range of public and non-profit entities across Florida. The primary objective of this RFI is market research and information gathering to inform general, special, and technical specifications that may be incorporated into a future competitive solicitation. Vendors are expected to demonstrate their understanding of the services needed and their capacity to support a statewide network serving multiple government and educational entities. The RFI does not establish pricing terms, award dates, or formal contract terms, but rather serves as a pre-procurement planning tool. The submission deadline for vendor responses is May 29, 2026.

The RFI does not establish specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond based on the available documentation. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requirements are identified in the procurement materials provided. Similarly, no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed at this stage of the process, as the RFI is designed to gather market information before the Department determines whether to proceed with a formal competitive solicitation. The information collected from vendor responses will be used solely to inform the Department's decision-making process regarding the specifications and requirements for potential future network infrastructure procurements. Interested vendors should note that participation in this RFI does not guarantee consideration for future solicitations or contract awards.
