About this opportunity
The state of Florida, specifically the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB), has withdrawn and cancelled a Request for Proposals (RFP) for TV Installation Services, RFP-24-031. This procurement was initially advertised, but less than two responsive bids or proposals were received. Pursuant to Florida Statutes 287.057(6), the agency has determined that it is in the best interest of the state to negotiate the best terms and conditions for the provision of the specified products and services, rather than re-soliciting the project with the same requirements.
The withdrawn RFP sought TV installation services for FSDB. The agency has determined that it is time and resource-intensive to conduct a full competitive bid process, and that re-soliciting the project would likely yield the same result of receiving less than two responses. Additionally, due to the time requirements of completing the project with minimal disruption to student services and the business of FSDB, the agency has decided to withdraw the solicitation and negotiate directly with potential vendors. No further details on the specific deliverables, qualifications, or evaluation criteria were provided in the announcement.
Opportunity text
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT FOR WITHDRAWAL-CANCELLATION OF RFP-24-031 TV Installation Services
Section 2.26 of the Solicitation Document enumerates FSDB's Reserved Rights. Specifically, 2.26.2 reserves the right to reject all replies at any time, including after an award is made when doing wo would be in the best interest of the State of Florida, and by doing so, assumes no liability to any Vendor. Section 2.26.1 reserves the right to withdraw the solicitation at any time, including after an award is made when doing so would be in the best interest of the State of Florida, and by doing so, assumes no liability to any Vendor.
Additionally, Florida Statutes § 287.057(6) provides that if less than two responsive bids or proposals are received in response to a solicitation, the Agency may negotiate the best terms and conditions in the "best interest of the state" in lieu of re-soliciting the service.
After advertising the Competitive Solicitation package referenced above, we received less than two responses to the solicitation announcement. Because it is time and resource intensive to conduct a competitive bid process and we have already conducted that process, to re-solicit this project with the same specifications and requirements would require the same amount of resources and time and would likely yield the same result - receiving less than two responses. Moreover, due to the time requirements of completing the project with minimal disruption to student services and the business of FSDB, it is determined that it is in the best interest of the State of Florida and Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind to negotiate the best terms and conditions for the provision of the products/services specified in the referenced solicitation, which is hereby withdrawn/cancelled.
At this time, it has been determined that it is in the best interest of the State of Florida and FSDB to withdraw/cancel the subject solicitation.
