In 2016 alone the state government issued over 38,000 bids and RFPs and awarded more than 42,000 contracts, and the state’s proposed 2017-2018 FY budget lists plans to spend at least $83B in areas such as education, transportation and corrections. Vendors have access to a treasure trove of opportunities to earn lucrative government contracts by developing relationships with public sector clients in the Sunshine State.
