Diversified Communications

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to enter into a single-source agreement with Diversified Communications to procure exhibit booth services for the Fresh From Florida pavilion at the Seafood Expo North America in March 2027. This procurement, identified by solicitation number SS 26 27 38, is being conducted under Florida’s single-source acquisition authority as permitted by Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3), Section 287.057(3), and Rule 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code, with Diversified Communications designated as the sole known provider capable of delivering the required trade show exhibit services. The estimated contract value ranges from $90,750 to $150,000, with the performance period running from contract execution through June 30, 2027, and the primary delivery location being the Seafood Expo North America event. Prospective vendors interested in providing similar services must submit relevant information to Edward Rondeau at Procurement@FDACS.gov no later than August 11, 2026, though no formal competitive bidding process is underway. The procurement is supported by the PUR 7776 form, which details the intended single-source purchase, and no federal acquisition regulation clauses, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or detailed evaluation factors are included, as this is a state-level service procurement under Florida law. Payment, invoicing, and accounting details such as TAS or AAC codes are not specified, and no formal contracting officer, contracting officer’s representative, or technical representative roles are identified in the documentation. The sole focus is on securing booth space to support Florida’s statutory mission of promoting agricultural products through industry trade shows, with acceptance contingent on successful execution of the event participation rather than technical specifications or quality benchmarks.
