Review the questions below as you work with or consider working with the Eastern Florida State College Procurement Services office. Reach out if you have additional questions not covered in the accordion.
How can I be placed on the College's bid list to receive solicitations?
Vendors must first complete the EFSC Vendor Application and W-9 Form and email those to the Procurement Services office.

Vendors may view current opportunities online.
Once I submit a bid, can I withdraw it?
You can withdraw your bid prior to the closing date and time by contacting Procurement
Services, identified on the bid document, in writing. There are no penalties and it
does not disqualify you from submitting a new bid prior to the closing date and time.
How are bids and proposals evaluated?
Procurement Services (in cooperation with the internal customer purchasing the goods
or service) evaluates the bids and proposals on the bases of specified criteria. Types
of criteria (stated in the bid document) include price, quality, delivery and service.
Certain criteria are more important than others, and are weighted accordingly.
Can I attend bid openings?
Vendors are encouraged to attend bid openings for all formal bids (Invitation to Bid
and Request for Proposal) listed on the College's current bid solicitation page at
the date, time, and location noted on the Invitation to Bid document. All formal bids
received will be opened and read publicly.
When will I know if my bid is successful?
When the successful firm has been selected, that firm or individual is notified In
writing. This usually occurs within 30 days of the bid opening. The bid award will
be posted on Eastern Florida State College's Procurement Web Site.
How can I obtain bid results?
All bid tabulations can be obtained from the Procurement website by clicking on the
completed bid numbers or by calling the Office at 321-433-7932.
What should I do if there are changes in my company status, such as a change in business
name, address, contact information, ownership or Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)?
If you have changes in your company's status, call or email Procurement Services.
You may be asked to forward a new IRS Form W-9.
