Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program is in the process of completing the bid process for Pursuit, Administrative & Other Vehicles, Heavy Trucks, and Heavy Equipment. The bid system opened August 7, 2020 and bid submissions are due by August 31, 2020. A public bid opening is scheduled for September 1, 2020 and bid evaluations are scheduled to be completed from September 1, 2020 – September 4, 2020. The bid evaluations are completed by FSA CPP staff, and the FSA Fleet Advisory Committee.
