Manufacturing procurement in Florida
Manufacturing procurement in Florida sits at the intersection of two things: Government manufacturing procurement is largest at the Department of Defense (DoD), which spends over $150B annually on manufactured goods — from aircraft and ships to uniforms, MREs, ammunition, and spare parts. Beyond DoD, federal buyers include NASA, DOE (national labs), FEMA (disaster supplies), USPS (postal equipment and vehicles), and GSA (fleet vehicles, office equipment). The largest Florida state buyers are the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT — $4B+ annual lettings), Department of Management Services (DMS commodities and IT), Department of Corrections, Department of Children and Families, Department of Health, Agency for Health Care Administration (Medicaid), Department of Environmental Protection, State University System of Florida (Florida, FSU, USF, UCF, FIU, plus 7 others), and Florida Turnpike Enterprise.
