Florida Government Purchasing and Procurement Law

• Overview
• Credits

Florida state and local governmental entities spend billions of dollars annually purchasing products and services. With an influx of federal dollars for things such as transportation infrastructure and education, and a new administration that appears to be focused on privatization, Florida government purchasing activity is likely to continue to increase. In these challenging economic times, Florida governmental entities have also begun to explore looking to the private sector to help finance much-needed infrastructure and other projects through public-private partnerships. While Florida government contracting presents opportunities for private sector companies to grow their business, it is important for companies wanting to compete in this space to understand Florida’s diverse and complex state and local procurement laws. This reference set will provide not only an overview of Florida procurement law, but will also cover the latest developments and best practices designed to equip any company, and their legal counsel, desiring to contract with Florida state or local governmental entities, with the tools to best be able to compete for such contracts, as well as to defend contract awards that are protested or challenge awards to competitors.
