The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) numbered 2541 for Textbook Production Services, seeking comprehensive procurement of production-related services.

The procurement process will involve an evaluation and negotiation phase scheduled between 08/06/2025 and 09/05/2025, with negotiations potentially conducted in-person in Tallahassee or through remote technology solutions. A technical reply opening is scheduled for 08/05/2025 at 3:00 p.m., with an anticipated intent to award date of 09/09/2025. All procurement events and communications will be posted to the Vendor Information Portal (VIP), and vendors are advised that failure to file a protest within prescribed timeframes will constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of Florida Statutes.

The solicitation does not explicitly detail specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations based on the provided documentation. While the ITN appears to be open to qualified vendors, no specific information about disadvantaged enterprise provisions is included in the available materials. The document provides no indication of incumbent vendors or current contractors for these textbook production services. Additionally, no specific budget ranges or award values are mentioned in the information notice. The procurement is specific to Leon County within the state of Florida, and interested vendors will need to carefully review the full ITN documentation to understand the complete scope of requirements, qualifications, and evaluation criteria for the textbook production services contract. Vendors should be prepared to participate in potential in-person or remote negotiations and comply with all specified submission requirements and deadlines outlined in the ITN documentation.
