Construction (road and bridge construction, and maintenance projects) and Professional Services (engineering, surveying and mapping, architecture, landscape architecture, planning, and right of way acquisition and management) do not fall under contractual services.
Where can I find Commodities and Contractual Services advertisements?
Formal procurement of commodities and contractual services are advertised in the Vendor Information Portal then select the Search Advertisements link. You will need to select "Department of Transportation" from the drop-down menu to view our advertisements.
The Department utilizes the Department of Management Services(DMS) vendor list to notify vendors of advertised projects. Application to be included on this vendor list may be obtained by calling DMS at (850) 487-4634 or to register online, go to the on-line Vendor Registration web page.
Select the link to view the currently awarded FDOT contracts for Commodities and Contractual Services. As you plan your strategy for future bidding opportunities, pay particular attention to expiration dates and whether a renewal provision is contained within the contract. Also, be aware that our contracting needs are also affected by major statewide contracts advertised and awarded by the Department of Management Services. Many of these contracts contain a requirement for state agencies to obtain commodities and contractual services from the statewide contracts. DMS contracts include State Term Contracts, and Alternate Contract Sources.
