MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) is Florida's statewide eProcurement system, processing $8B+ in annual state purchasing across all agencies. It's the single portal for FDOT, AHCA, DMS, FLDOE, and 35+ state agencies — plus the gateway to DMS statewide contracts that give vendors access to all Florida entities without competitive bidding.
Register as a vendor on MFMP Vendor Registration at vendor.myfloridamarketplace.com — registration is free and required before you can respond to any Florida state solicitation
Complete your vendor profile with commodity codes — Florida uses a custom state commodity code system. Map your services carefully during registration or you'll miss relevant bid notifications
Register separately with DMS (Department of Management Services) at dms.myflorida.com for statewide contract opportunities — DMS manages master agreements used by all agencies
Apply for Florida SDB (Small Disadvantaged Business) certification at dms.myflorida.com/business_operations/state_purchasing/vendor_information/certified_minority_business_enterprise — certification gives you bid preference on applicable state contracts
For construction and engineering, obtain prequalification with FDOT at fdot.gov/procurement — without FDOT prequalification you cannot bid on highway construction regardless of MFMP registration
DMS statewide contracts are Florida's highest-leverage procurement vehicle — a single statewide contract award puts you in front of all state agencies, universities, and many local governments without competitive bidding. Monitor dms.myflorida.com for open statewide contract ITNs.
AHCA (Agency for Health Care Administration) spends $5B+ annually on Medicaid managed care, IT, and health services — it's the single largest MFMP buyer after FDOT. Register directly with AHCA at ahca.myflorida.com for healthcare solicitation notifications.
Florida's SDB preference program gives certified firms a price preference on applicable contracts. Combined with Florida's large and growing economy, SDB status can be the difference between shortlisted and awarded on competitive proposals.
Monitor MyFlorida's "Sourcing" module for ITB (Invitation to Bid) and ITN (Invitation to Negotiate) solicitations separately — MFMP runs two distinct procurement processes and notifications for each are configured independently.
Florida has no state income tax and a business-friendly procurement environment — agencies tend to move faster than northern states. Solicitations sometimes close in 7–10 days. Configure MFMP notifications to immediate (not daily digest) for your primary commodity codes.
MFMP has a 1% Transaction Fee on all vendor payments — it's deducted from every payment the state makes to you. Factor this into your pricing on all Florida state bids. Vendors who forget this end up with thinner margins than projected on every contract.
Florida agencies can use MFMP purchasing cards (P-cards) for purchases under $2,500 — these don't go through the competitive process at all. Getting your products/services set up in the MFMP catalog for P-card purchases creates a recurring low-friction revenue stream separate from competitive bids.
FDOT manages $8B+ annually through 7 district offices, each with independent procurement authority. The Tallahassee headquarters posts major contracts on MFMP, but district offices frequently post smaller work directly. Register with each relevant FDOT district at fdot.gov/districts.
Florida's Sunbiz database (sunbiz.org) is public and searchable — use it to verify competitor registrations, check who is registered with incumbent contracts, and validate potential teaming partners' Florida entity status before pursuing joint ventures.
Florida's Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) program provides bid preferences to certified minority-owned and women-owned businesses in state procurement. Agencies are encouraged to meet participation goals, and SDB firms receive direct outreach from agency procurement offices. Florida also participates in the federal DBE program for federally-funded transportation and transit contracts — FDOT requires DBE participation plans on all federally-funded projects.

MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) is Florida's statewide eProcurement system. All state agencies are required to process purchases through MFMP. Major buyers include FDOT ($8B+ annually), AHCA ($5B+), DMS, FLDOE, and 35+ other departments. Local governments and universities are not required to use MFMP but many do.
Go to vendor.myfloridamarketplace.com and complete the free vendor registration. You'll need your EIN, business address, and Florida commodity codes for your services. Registration is required before responding to any state solicitation. Note the 1% Transaction Fee that is deducted from all state payments to vendors.
Florida deducts a 1% Transaction Fee from every payment made to vendors through MFMP. This is a cost of doing business with Florida state government and must be factored into your pricing on every bid. For example, on a $100,000 contract, the state pays you $99,000 after the Transaction Fee.
MFMP solicitations are competitive bids for specific agency requirements. DMS statewide contracts are pre-negotiated master agreements — once on a statewide contract, all state agencies can purchase from you without bidding. Both channels are important: MFMP for project-specific wins, DMS statewide for recurring revenue. Check dms.myflorida.com for open statewide contract opportunities.
