public event instructions for suppliers
1. UNDERSTAND THE TYPES OF PUBLIC SOLICITATIONS AT USF
A Public Solicitation ("Event") has the requirement of being open to all qualified suppliers and must be advertised in a public domain. The procurement process follows a metholody defined by the Florida Statutes, the Florida Board of Governors and USF Policy.
Predominantly, USF will use either an Invitation to Bid or Invitation to Negotiate:
Invitation to Bid (ITB): Is best used when Suppliers must comply to a strict set of specifications. ITBs
are awarded based on the lowest qualified bid.
Invitation to Negotiate (ITN): A more flexible procurement process that is used when the final scope of services
or deliverables are not as strictly defined. This method allows for one or more parallel
negotiations to take place with Suppliers and provides opportunity for revision of
scope and cost. ITNs are awarded based on qualified bid which offers the best overall
value.
USF may also use methods such as Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Information
(RFI).
