Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) in Florida is using this solicitation to procure technology work. Sole-source solicitations are issued when only one vendor can provide the required item or service; competing vendors may still submit objections during the public comment window. Bidders responding to a technology solicitation in Florida are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Contracts of this type are usually awarded under the issuing agency's published procurement rules, with bid bond, performance bond, and reference requirements set in the solicitation documents. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Florida so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a bid for this solicitation, review the full solicitation documents for Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB)'s exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the June 15, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified.
