SUBJECT:
CONTRACT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT TO
CHAPTER 2010-151, LAWS OF FLORIDA
Section 46 of Chapter 2010-151, Laws of Florida, requires that contracts, including direct orders and purchase
orders, which exceed the Category II threshold ($35,000) established in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes (F.S.),
and which were not awarded by competitive solicitation or purchased from a purchasing agreement or state term
contract, be reported to the Department of Financial Services (DFS) within three working days after executing
the contract. Amendments to contracts must also be reported within three working days after executing the
amendment. State agencies, as defined in Section 216.011, F.S., which enter into contracts for the purchase of
commodities or contractual services, executed on or after July 1, 2010, will be required to comply with the
reporting requirements.
The purpose of this memo is to provide information regarding the data fields that must be reported to DFS. We

We are developing a reporting methodology, which will involve the agencies entering the required information
