Architect-Engineering Services for the Northwest Florida Region Continuing Contract

The Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Real Estate Development and Management, issued RFQ REDM2627-01 to solicit professional architect-engineering services for a continuing contract in the Northwest Florida Region. The scope of work encompasses design and construction administration for new freestanding buildings, major additions, renovations, tenant improvements, and the repair of existing occupied buildings, including building system upgrades and exterior envelope waterproofing. Selection is based on a qualifications-based process where the most highly qualified firms are chosen for interviews and presentations, with the final order of preference determined by total interview scores. Required submission materials include a Letter of Interest, Professional Qualifications Supplement Form AE12a-Rev 09/2021, a project listing of relevant experience, a completed Federal GSA Standard Form 330, and valid Florida professional licensing and corporate registration. The procurement process mandates that all communication be conducted in writing through the Construction Procurement Liaison, who serves as the sole point of contact. While the original solicitation specified a response deadline of August 13, 2026, and a contract start date of January 15, 2027, the Department subsequently issued a Notice of Withdrawal on July 15, 2026, announcing its decision to withdraw the solicitation with the intent to reissue it. The process is governed by Florida Statutes, including public records requirements under Chapter 119 and selection procedures under section 287.055(4)(b).
