For Federal Contractors Crossing into Florida SLED

Florida procurement is more decentralized than NY but more centralized than Texas. State Term Contracts are the primary cross-agency vehicle. Florida exempts many local governments (cities, counties, school boards) from state procurement rules, making local-government sales channel separate and meaningful.
