2027 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is seeking information from potential vendors regarding a proposed single-source procurement for the 2027 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, a project requiring specialized market research, polling, and stakeholder analysis services. The commission has determined that the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago is the only source capable of performing this work due to its exclusive access to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s official 2027 survey questionnaire and its proprietary AmeriSpeak survey panel, which enables accurate state-level data collection aligned with national benchmarks. This procurement is not a solicitation for bids or proposals; interested parties must submit written information confirming their ability to fulfill the requirements by 1:45 p.m. ET on June 22, 2026, exclusively via email to Adrian Wiggins. The selected vendor must demonstrate full capability to perform all contract obligations, maintain integrity and reliability for good-faith performance, and comply with Chapter 287, Florida Statutes, and all other applicable laws. The contract scope includes implementing probability and non-probability sampling within Florida, conducting data collection from January 2027 through March 2028, and delivering a weighted dataset, a comprehensive analytical report, a presentation slide deck, and supplemental analytic support. The estimated contract value is $174,500, with a three-year performance period beginning upon purchase order execution, and the place of performance is limited to the state of Florida. No competitive evaluation factors, inspection criteria, packaging specifications, or detailed administrative terms are provided, as this is a justification for sole-source acquisition under state statutes.
