Note to Vendors

Our vendor application is for payment processing as well as notification of upcoming bids or quotes. For more information on becoming a City vendor, see the "Vendor Guide" link below.
 
Our sealed bid threshold is currently $50,000.01, and is awarded by City Council generally to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor who meets all the specifications and/or qualifications for the commodity or service being offered.

Verbal telephone/email quotes are solicited for items from $2,500 - $5,000. Written quotes are requested for items between $5,000 - $50,000, with City Council approval on all acquisitions over $35,000. It is the vendor’s responsibility to maintain contact with individual departments for purchases under the formal bid threshold.

A recommendation is made to the Sebring City Council, who makes the final determination of award.
