Note: Only solicitations that the University must advertise are posted here.

The University may purchase through contracts from the State of Florida, city government, county government, federal government, community college, or other university contracts. We also go out for solicitation on commodities and contractual services as needed. Vendors may file a Vendor Application with the Office of Procurement Services to be considered for solicitations and quotations, though it is not a requirement.

Invitations to Bid (ITB), Requests for Proposal (RFP), or Invitations to Negotiate are issued for purchases over $75,000. Quotations are required for purchases over $5,000 unless otherwise exempt.

All solicitation openings are open to the public and will be posted on the Procurement Services website. Please note: Some solicitations hold mandatory pre-bid/pre-proposal meetings. If an interested vendor does not attend the meeting, then a bid/proposal will not be accepted.

All solicitations over $75,000 will be advertised in the Florida Administrative Weekly (hard copy) or on the Florida Communities Network (FCN) web page, in addition to being posted on this web page. When FGCU advertises we will do so almost exclusively on the FCN web page.

*Note: Surplus bids are advertised only in the local Fort Myers News Press publication.

When requesting a copy of a solicitation please indicate the specific solicitation name and number.

Solicitation opening dates and times are strictly adhered to; addenda are issued by the Office of Procurement Services only. Solicitation responses will only be accepted by the Office of Procurement Services if received and date-time stamped in our office by no later than the opening time and date of the solicitation; receipt by any other department after the due date and time will not be recognized as timely and will be returned, unopened, to the sender. Solicitations sent via UPS/FedEx and United States Mail are first received by the Receiving Department and/or Postal Department, respectively; they must then deliver to the Office of Procurement Services. This is not an instantaneous procedure, therefore, it is critical that the sender allow sufficient time for all of this to occur and to ensure a timely receipt by the Office of the Procurement Services.

Mail or deliver all solicitations to:
Florida Gulf Coast University
Office of Procurement Services
Modular II
10501 FGCU Blvd South
Fort Myers, FL 33965-6565

We are physically located in Modular II.
