Parks Items for Resale

Miami-Dade County's Strategic Procurement Department is requesting qualifications to establish a prequalified vendor pool for park items for resale, with submissions due August 24, 2026. This is an open, continuous eight-year pool solicitation; placement does not constitute a contract but qualifies vendors for future spot-market competitions issued as Invitations to Quote or Work Order Proposal Requests.

The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department (PROS) seeks vendors capable of supplying diverse items for resale at County parks, golf courses, tennis centers, marina stores, and specialty restaurants. Typical items include books, prepackaged snacks and beverages, jellies, cookies, creams, lotions, postcards, apparel, posters, garden supplies, seeds, fishing supplies, tennis supplies, golf supplies and equipment, toys, and ponchos. Vendors must provide a comprehensive list of available items and designate a representative available 24 hours per day to receive quotations and orders.

Vendors must complete and electronically submit the full solicitation package through BidSync, including certifications regarding local business status, small business enterprise status, veteran business enterprise status, felony convictions, scrutinized companies lists, and fair subcontracting practices. Pricing is not requested at the prequalification stage; prices will be established in subsequent spot market competitions. No insurance is required for prequalification, though insurance requirements may apply to individual competitions. Quoted prices in future ITQs or WOPRs will remain fixed for 180 days from the solicitation due date.

All submitted materials are considered public records under Florida's Government in the Sunshine Laws and Public Records Laws. The solicitation contact is Jessica Tyrrell, Procurement Contracting Manager; Jerome Derival is the contracting officer for the prequalification pool.
