1. The Purchasing Policies of the City of Cocoa allow for “piggybacking”. Pursuant to this

City Council Meeting · 2026-08-11 · agenda_item

This item concerns the City of Cocoa's purchasing policies, which allow for "piggybacking" on existing government contracts. The city plans to use this procedure to enter into a contract with a vendor who already has an agreement with Martin County. This existing contract is identified as RFQ2025-3682. The city is currently in the planning stages of this procurement process. This approach means that the city will not be initiating a new bidding process for services or goods already covered by the Martin County contract. Businesses that supply goods or services under the RFQ2025-3682 contract with Martin County may have an opportunity to extend their services to the City of Cocoa. Early engagement with the City of Cocoa's purchasing department could provide insight into how to participate in this piggybacking process.
