Transportation Services

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is seeking to procure Post-Release Ground Transportation Services through a single-source contract with FlixBus, Inc. FDC requires a vendor to provide vehicular transportation to any destination in Florida or the United States for inmates released from FDC custody. The selected vendor must comply with all state and federal motor vehicle regulations, provide assistance for inmates requiring ADA accommodations, and have the infrastructure to meet the statewide pickup and nationwide drop-off requirements. FDC has identified FlixBus, Inc., through its subsidiary Greyhound, as the sole source capable of meeting these needs and intends to award a five-year contract with an estimated annual value of $1,000,000. The justification for the single-source award is that FlixBus, through Greyhound, is the only vendor with the established infrastructure to provide transportation services from all of FDC's designated locations to destinations across Florida and the United States. FDC has confirmed that no other vendors can meet these requirements. The intended purchase will be subject to the notification and protest procedures specified in Rule 60A-1.045, Florida Administrative Code, and Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified. The total contract value is estimated at $1,000,000 annually for five years.
