The Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Assn., Inc. is a locally governed utility entity dedicated to ensuring reliable, resilient, and safe electric service across the Florida Keys archipelago. Its core mission centers on maintaining and modernizing critical infrastructure to support community resilience against extreme weather events and aging equipment, with a strategic emphasis on fleet modernization for field operations. The agency prioritizes the acquisition of specialized utility vehicles that enable efficient maintenance, emergency response, and vegetation management in remote and environmentally sensitive areas. Its procurement strategy reflects a commitment to operational continuity, workforce safety, and service reliability under challenging coastal conditions.
The agency most frequently procures heavy-duty, purpose-built utility vehicles, particularly Class 7 forestry bucket trucks designed for overhead line maintenance and tree clearance near power distribution networks. These acquisitions are typically structured as direct solicitations, indicating a preference for competitive, non-set-aside procurement processes that prioritize technical specifications and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Contract vehicles appear to be issued on an as-needed basis, aligned with fleet lifecycle planning and infrastructure upgrade cycles.
The agency’s primary procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 336120, Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing, reflecting its reliance on customized commercial chassis equipped with hydraulic lifts, insulated buckets, and utility-specific attachments. There is no indication of set-aside preferences or targeted diversity initiatives in its procurement history. Vendor relationships appear to be driven by engineering compatibility, service support networks, and adherence to utility safety standards rather than small business or minority-owned business mandates.
As a member-owned electric cooperative serving the Florida Keys, the agency operates independently under state utility oversight but is not part of a larger state department. It utilizes direct solicitation methods and competitive bidding to acquire mission-critical equipment, maintaining autonomy in procurement decisions to meet localized grid demands.
