Scope

The Florida Legislature passed a DEI Bill, effective January 1, 2027, that prohibits Florida local governments from funding, promoting, or taking official action related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and efforts. Local government agencies must be in compliance with this law as of January 1, 2027. As such, Section 287.139, Florida Statutes, requires the contractor to certify they will not use County funds in requiring its employees, contractors, volunteers, vendors, or agents to ascribe to, study, or be instructed using materials relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion as defined in section 125.595(1), Florida Statutes.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

  1. Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
  2. Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
  3. This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
  4. Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
