AI Contract Overview

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) has announced its intent to enter into negotiations with COGBURN BROS., INC. for a contract following a competitive solicitation process. This notice is not a request for bids but a declaration of the agency's decision to negotiate due to receiving fewer than two responsive proposals, allowing FSDB to negotiate the best possible terms under Florida statutes. The solicitation, identified by the number IA-26-168, relates to services or goods classified under NAICS code 39122100 and is specific to the state of Florida. Interested parties are advised that all communication regarding the solicitation must be conducted via email, specifically through the designated agency contact Elizabeth Nimitz, and that phone inquiries are not accepted for competitive solicitation questions. The notice also outlines the protest procedures available to any interested parties adversely affected by the FSDB's procurement decision. Protests must be submitted in writing within specific timeframes following the notification of intent to award and must provide a thorough explanation of the contested issues. These procedures are governed by Florida statutes, which may include requirements for a protest bond. Failure to adhere to the prescribed timelines or bond requirements will result in a waiver of the right to contest the agency's decision under administrative procedures. This process ensures transparency and adherence to state competitive bidding laws while moving forward with contract negotiations with COGBURN BROS., INC.
