Florida Public Transportation Association (FPTA) Training Events

The Florida Department of Transportation is executing a single-source contract with the Florida Public Transportation Association (FPTA), a non-profit organization representing urban and rural transit systems, to deliver coordination and training events aimed at promoting the recognition, use, and improvement of public transportation across the state. The contract, identified by solicitation number DOT-SS-27-9005-DG and classified under NAICS code 86132201 for training workshop services, is structured for a five-year term with an estimated value of $790,459. Services will focus on facilitating informational exchanges between FPTA and FDOT, providing technical support and training to rural transit agencies, and enabling executive-level collaboration to drive operational improvements and advance programs managed by the Transit Office. Performance is expected to occur entirely within the state of Florida, with no specified delivery schedule, packaging, or inspection criteria outlined. The procurement bypasses competitive bidding under Florida Statute 287.057(5)(c), justified by the unique role FPTA plays in the state’s public transit ecosystem. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Destyne Grayson, reachable via email and phone provided by the agency. No detailed cost breakdown, evaluation factors, or special requirements such as insurance, bonding, or reporting obligations are included in the available documentation, reflecting the non-competitive nature of this acquisition.
