Crockett Foundation, Inc. Partnership

The Florida Department of the Lottery has issued a notice of agency decision to enter into a single-source partnership with Crockett Foundation, Inc. under solicitation number SS-002-26/27. This non-competitive award, valued at an estimated $90,000.00, was made pursuant to Florida Administrative Code Rule 53ER07-55(8)(a). The decision is based on the foundation's established presence in South Florida and its unique capability to provide specialized youth empowerment services. The partnership is intended to span a three-year term and will focus on enhancing college readiness through deliverables such as standardized test preparation, FAFSA guidance, and outreach regarding the Bright Futures Scholarship Program. The contract is governed by Florida state laws and rules, specifically referencing Florida Statutes 287.042(2)(C), 120.57(3), and 24.109. Because this is a single-source procurement rather than a competitive bid, no formal evaluation factors or federal FAR clauses are included in the documentation. The place of performance is the State of Florida. Interested parties wishing to file a formal written protest must do so within 72 hours of the electronic posting, submitting the protest along with an accompanying bond to the Agency Clerk in Tallahassee.
