Read each solicitation's evaluation criteria carefully.

Register on MyFloridaMarketPlace (vendor.myfloridamarketplace.com) — mandatory for state contract awards. Annual MFMP transaction fees apply based on total state business volume.

FDOT construction bidders need additional Contractor Prequalification. Local governments (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando) each require separate registrations on their own platforms.

MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) is Florida's mandatory procurement platform for executive-branch state agencies, running on SAP Ariba. All state solicitations flow through MFMP; vendor registration is required to bid. MFMP charges annual transaction fees based on total state business volume — a percentage of contract dollars invoiced. Non-executive-branch agencies (universities, water management districts, court system) may use MFMP or their own systems.

The Florida Department of Transportation publishes lettings monthly through the FDOT Contracts Administration Portal. Bidders must complete FDOT Contractor Prequalification (financial capacity, past performance, equipment) before bidding projects over $250,000. Bids are sealed unit-price on a bill of quantities. Federal-aid projects carry Davis-Bacon wages, Buy America iron/steel (49 CFR 661), and DBE subcontracting goals typically 10–13%. State-funded projects do not carry state prevailing wages.

No. Florida repealed its state prevailing-wage law for public works. State-funded construction contracts do not carry a state prevailing-wage schedule, which distinguishes Florida from Georgia and North Carolina. Federal Davis-Bacon rates still apply on federal-aid highway, transit, aviation, and infrastructure work. Some Florida local governments (Miami-Dade, Broward) have independently adopted local living-wage ordinances that apply within their jurisdictions.

Miami-Dade County (population 2.7M) runs one of the largest local procurement operations in the Southeast.

Miami-Dade International Airport (MIA) and Port of Miami operate independently with distinct procurement rules.
