Online Shooting Range Safety Course

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking competitive proposals for the development and hosting of an FWC Online Shooting Range Safety Course. The intent is to obtain a vendor to create and publish an online course that will be mandatory for all shooters desiring access to any of the ten FWC-managed shooting ranges across the state. The selected contractor will be required to host the course on cloud-based computing and storage devices, provide technical support, and implement any necessary modifications during the contract term, which is for an initial period of five years with an option to renew for one additional five-year period. Proposals must address the course development, hosting, and data storage requirements, which should be priced in increments of 5,000 users with annual usage estimates ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 users. Responses to this solicitation must be received by 2:00 PM ET on January 20, 2023, and FWC anticipates awarding the contract by February 20, 2023.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors registered in the MyFloridaMarketPlace system and with Sunbiz prior to the bid opening. Certified Minority-Owned, Woman-Owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises are encouraged to participate. The stated budget for this project is $35,000, but FWC has indicated that they may have additional funding available and are hoping that proposed prices will be within this general range since the course materials are already developed. The contract will be awarded to the vendor providing the best value to FWC.
