State Government Lobbying & Advocacy Services

Santa Rosa County is seeking a contractor to represent its interests before the Florida Legislature, Governor, Cabinet, and state agencies with the goal of securing funding and policy support for critical infrastructure, environmental, FEMA-related, and transit initiatives. The contractor will be responsible for actively advocating on behalf of the county to influence state-level decisions, build relationships with key officials, and ensure that the county’s needs are effectively communicated and prioritized within state government processes. This engagement is focused on long-term strategic outcomes rather than short-term transactions, requiring deep familiarity with Florida’s legislative and administrative systems. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract with a NAICS code of 921120, indicating it falls under executive, legislative, and other general government support services. The solicitation was posted on October 8, 2024, with responses due by November 8, 2024. All advocacy work is expected to be directed toward state entities in Florida, with no specified physical location for performance beyond the scope of state government operations in Tallahassee and other governmental centers. The contract is not subject to a set-aside designation, and while no point of contact or address details are provided, the procurement is managed through Santa Rosa County’s official procurement portal.
