National Association of State Departments of Agriculture

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is announcing its intent to enter into a single-source agreement with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture for trade show exhibit booth services, with prospective vendors able to submit relevant information by August 11, 2026. This is a 15-business-day notice of intent under statutory requirements; it is not a request for bid or proposal. Prospective vendors who believe they can provide equivalent services must contact the issuing agency by the August 11 deadline, and the Department will determine in writing whether the services are available only from a single source before execution.

The scope covers rental space and exhibit booth services for the "Fresh From Florida" booth at National Association of State Departments of Agriculture trade events. The Division of Marketing and Development seeks to market and promote Florida agricultural products to consumers, agriculture industry members, and educators. The procurement is authorized under Chapter 570 F.S., which grants the Department authority to promote agricultural products.

The estimated contract value is approximately $38,700, with a contract cap of up to $80,000. The contract term extends through June 30, 2027. The single-source justification states that the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture is hosting the trade events and is identified as the only known source able to provide these services. A detailed description of intended single-source purchase (PUR 7776) is attached and available for review.
