Proposals were due on November 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with a question deadline of November 6, 2025. The solicitation allows for multiple firms to be selected, with work to be issued through individual purchase/task orders on an as-needed basis. Evaluation criteria include vendor capabilities, workload management, rates and fees, past experience, and proximity to Port Canaveral. The base contract term is one year with one optional one-year renewal period, and vendors must meet minimum qualifications including being in business under the same name for at least three years, having properly trained staff with appropriate certifications, and holding valid Florida business licensure.

The RFP does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Three firms were ultimately selected for the contract: Certified Plumbing of Brevard, Inc. from Palm Bay, Green Team Plumbing, LLC from Pompano Beach, and Jackson Street Construction (321 Construction & Roofing, LLC) from Titusville, with Ackerman Plumbing, Inc. from Sarasota not selected. Contractors are required to carry comprehensive insurance including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 minimum), Umbrella/Excess Liability ($2,000,000 minimum), Business Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 minimum), and Worker's Compensation Insurance. No guaranteed contract value was specified, as compensation will be based on actual work performed through task orders. Pricing will be established through detailed cost proposals for each task order, including itemized labor rates, material costs, equipment usage, and disposal fees. The RFP includes specific federal compliance requirements, particularly for contracts potentially funded by federal awards, which include provisions related to equal employment opportunity, Davis-Bacon Act, Clean Air Act, and Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) compliance.
