Architect-Engineering Services for the Northwest Florida Region Continuing Contract

The Department of Management Services for the State of Florida issued Solicitation RFQ REDM2627-01 for Architect-Engineering Services under a continuing contract framework for the Northwest Florida Region, with a response deadline of August 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This solicitation, governed by Florida Statute 287.055, employs a qualifications-based selection process rather than competitive pricing, where firms will be evaluated on their demonstrated expertise, current workload, proximity to the project site, previous experience with state agencies, and ability to meet program requirements. All responses must be submitted as a single PDF on a thumb drive, accompanied by a scanned redacted version if confidential information is claimed, with specific documentation including Form AE12a-Rev 09/2021, a current Florida DBPR professional license, Florida corporate registration, the Federal GSA SF-330 form, and certifications confirming absence from the Suspended, Convicted, Antitrust Violator, Discriminatory, and Forced Labor Vendor Lists. The contract start date is January 15, 2027, and performance is limited to the Northwest Florida Region, encompassing new construction, building renovations, tenant improvements, system upgrades, re-glazing, waterproofing, and major additions, with all plans required to comply with current codes and statutory spending thresholds. Submission materials are subject to public records disclosure under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, requiring firms to explicitly mark confidential content and provide statutory justifications for exemptions. The sole point of contact for all inquiries and submissions is the Construction Procurement Liaison via email to REDMProcurement@dms.fl.gov, and strict adherence to this channel is mandatory—any deviation may lead to rejection. Selected firms will enter into negotiations prior to executing a standardized Architect-Engineer Agreement and must also certify compliance with lobbying restrictions under 31 U.S.C. 1352 and ADA accessibility requirements.
