The Florida State Guard is pursuing a single-source procurement for specialized Off Road 4x4 & ROHVA Training to be conducted at Camp Blanding in Starke, FL. The procurement targets a 3-day comprehensive training program designed to prepare personnel for hurricane response, flooding, and debris management scenarios. The training will cover advanced driving techniques including hill climbs, water crossings, night driving, self-rescue, and vehicle recovery techniques for UTVs and SUV 4x4 vehicles. Specifically, the training will accommodate 6 students and is being sourced directly from International Security Academy, which has been evaluated as the most capable provider meeting the Florida State Guard's specific training requirements. The procurement follows Florida Statutes sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), with the solicitation posted on 04/24/2025 and a final day for receipt of information set for 05/15/2025. The procurement documents indicate that the training is critically important for enhancing emergency response capabilities and operational readiness of state guard personnel. The procurement appears to be a direct, single-source contract without explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is specifically targeted to International Security Academy as the sole vendor, suggesting limited competitive bidding for this specialized training opportunity. The total estimated contract value is $12,950, representing a focused, targeted investment in specialized training capabilities. The procurement has been approved by key personnel including the Purchasing Director, Deputy of JAG, and Budget Officer from the Department of Military Services. While the document does not specify integration requirements with existing infrastructure, the training is designed to complement existing emergency response capabilities of the Florida State Guard. The contract is jurisdiction-specific to Florida, with Broward County listed as the primary administrative jurisdiction, and will be executed at Camp Blanding training facilities.
