Florida state procurement often runs through MyFloridaMarketPlace. Register as a vendor in the official VIP/MFMP path before expecting to bid on statewide solicitations.

Dual track: federal SAM + Florida

Primes on federal work need an active SAM.gov registration and UEI.Florida state agency work uses the portals below. Finish both if you pursue both markets.

Checklist

  1. Create a vendor account in the official Florida vendor portal.
  2. Complete company profile and commodity selections.
  3. Watch MFMP bid search for matching solicitations.
  4. Use FACTS when researching historical awards, not as a live bid board.

May use NIGP, UNSPSC, NAICS, or portal-specific categories. Follow the official form.

Free or low-cost counseling is available through APEX Accelerators (formerly PTACs). Find your local office at apexaccelerators.us. They will not bid for you, but they unstick paperwork.

What usually goes wrong

  • MyFloridaMarketPlace registration incomplete while you wait for bid email.
  • Commodity codes that do not match how agencies advertise work.
  • Skipping free PTAC/APEX help and paying expediters for free state forms.

Florida registration FAQ

How do I register as a vendor in Florida?

Florida state procurement often runs through MyFloridaMarketPlace. Register as a vendor in the official VIP/MFMP path before expecting to bid on statewide solicitations. Follow the checklist on this page, then complete every field only on the official portal.

Is Florida vendor registration free?

Many state portals charge nothing or only a small state fee. Confirm any fee on the official site. Never pay a third party who claims they can replace free official forms without explaining what you are buying.

Do I still need SAM.gov?

Yes for most federal prime work. Florida registration does not create a SAM Unique Entity ID. Start with the SAM.gov registration walkthrough if you need both tracks.

Should I pay an expediter?

Only if you understand the fee and still want hand-holding after free APEX counseling. Official registration is on government portals. Expediters do not make you more competitive on price or past performance.

What is the interest form on this page?

It measures whether businesses want assisted multi-portal registration later. Submitting interest is not registration and is not a commitment to pay.

Where is free counseling?

Use APEX Accelerators at https://www.apexaccelerators.us/. Free or low-cost counseling is available through APEX Accelerators (formerly PTACs). Find your local office at apexaccelerators.us. They will not bid for you, but they unstick paperwork.
