Legislation Tracking

The Executive Office of the Governor is procuring a one-year subscription to LobbyTools, Inc.’s proprietary legislation tracking system under solicitation EOG-FY27-SS-01, with an estimated contract value of $95,000. This single-source acquisition is justified by the unique and proprietary functionality of the system, which is essential for the Governor’s staff to monitor, analyze, and track legislative activity throughout the Florida Legislature’s sessions and year-round. The system must provide a centralized, web-based platform accessible to up to 150 agency-wide users, enabling real-time access to legislative bills, governmental actions, press releases, opinions, budget documents, and announcements from the Governor’s Office, the House, Senate, Florida Supreme Court, and state agencies. Key requirements include centralized bill assignment to multiple sub-accounts, comprehensive reporting capabilities, and unified notifications to ensure timely and coordinated oversight across all branches and entities. The procurement is governed by Florida statutes and administrative rules governing single-source acquisitions, with no competitive bidding involved. Performance will be statewide, supporting operations from the Governor’s Office in Tallahassee, and the service is delivered as a cloud-based software solution with no physical components, eliminating the need for packaging, labeling, or military standards. The contract term is fixed at one year, with no specified start or end dates beyond the solicitation posting on June 25, 2026, and a response deadline of July 15, 2027. There are no option periods, delivery schedules, or FOB terms applicable, as the solution is entirely digital and delivered remotely. Acceptance is based solely on the system meeting the stated functional requirements, with no formal inspection criteria or quality standards cited beyond operational performance. The purchasing director, Jacob Hershberger, serves as the primary point of contact, and Dawn Hanson is the approving official, though no contracting officer’s representative or technical representative is explicitly named. Payment details, accounting codes, and invoicing methods are not provided, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status information from the vendor are included in the documentation. The entire acquisition is framed under Florida’s procurement regulations, emphasizing efficiency and continuity in legislative monitoring without requiring competitive procurement due to the system’s irreplaceable design and integrated data access.
