Florida Public Agencies Can Buy EV Charging Hardware Through Verdek’s Cooperative Purchasing Program

Verdek, a provider of EV charging infrastructure solutions, has renewed its contract under the Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA) Cooperative Purchasing Program, allowing public agencies in Florida to procure EV charging hardware through a pre-qualified vendor pool.

What Happened

Verdek renewed its agreement under the FSA’s Cooperative Purchasing Program for Electric Vehicle Charging, Power Stations, Equipment & Software (contract number FSA26-PWR5.0). The program enables state and local agencies, municipalities, and school districts to bypass separate RFP processes by purchasing from a standardized list of pre-competed vendors. The product lineup available through Verdek includes Level 2 chargers from Autel and ChargePoint; DC fast chargers from ABB, Autel, ChargePoint, Samsung, Tesla, and Tritium; portable charging units from Charge Rigs and Lincoln Electric; and charger management software from ampUp. Notably, the available charger list now includes the Tesla V4 Supercharger.

Why It Matters

This renewal provides Florida public agencies with a streamlined procurement path for modernizing their fleets. By expanding the contract to include Tesla’s V4 Supercharger alongside other major manufacturers, the program offers municipalities, public safety agencies, and school districts a wider variety of proven charging technologies without the administrative burden of individual competitive solicitations. Guy Mannino, CEO of Verdek, stated that the renewal addresses the pressure on these agencies to adopt new fleet technologies while maintaining procurement efficiency.

The Bottom Line

Florida public agencies can now access a broader range of EV charging hardware, including Tesla V4 Superchargers, through Verdek’s renewed contract with the Florida Sheriffs Association, simplifying the procurement process for fleet electrification projects.
