Citizens makes purchases through a government procurement process that ensures ethical, competitive bidding and full compliance with Citizens' Policy and Florida Statutes.
Competitive quotes are used to purchase goods and services valued at $2,500 to $34,999.
Competitive solicitations are used for purchases valued at or more than $35,000. Visit our Solicitations page to view current solicitations.
Vendors can register with Citizens to be notified about bidding opportunities that might be of interest. Citizens notifies registered vendors when a bidding opportunity matches the goods and/or services they are interested in providing.
You’ll need the following information to register with Citizens, if applicable:
Incorporation information
Florida Department of State/Division of Corporations document number
If you are unsure whether your firm is registered with Citizens, search our Vendor Directory. If your firm already is listed and you need to change your contact information, email vendor.inquiry@citizensfla.com.

You will engage in up-selling or attempts to otherwise persuade Citizens to buy additional goods or services not included in the purchase order
