Local preference and small business programs in Putnam County
Local preference
When it applies, the preference goes to the lowest qualified bidder who holds a current Florida business license and bids under that name, bids within 15 percent of the lowest qualified non-local bidder, and has kept a staffed place of business in Putnam County for the year before the bid, and who is a Florida corporation or a county-resident sole proprietor, partnership, joint venture or LLC manager. That local bidder may match the lowest qualified bid, and be treated as the low bidder, by giving the county written notice by 4:00 p.m. on the third business day after the bid opening.
It does not apply to professional services under the state consultants' act, to proposals where price is not the main factor, or to piggyback, cooperative and open market purchases. (Putnam County Code of Ordinances, section 2-100(b)) checked Oct 31, 2026
Small business program
Minority and women business enterprises, veteran-owned enterprises and small business enterprises are encouraged to take part in county purchasing, and the county uses its best efforts to encourage their participation and award contracts to eligible M/WBE and veteran-owned vendors for goods, services and construction. Everyone working for the county, subcontractors included, must take reasonable steps to give these firms the most chance to take part in county contracts. (Putnam County Code of Ordinances, section 2-100(c)) checked Oct 31, 2026
When Putnam County buyers must bid it out
Putnam County's open market limits are: up to $5,000, no formal quote or competition; over $5,000 to $25,000, at least two written or documented telephone quotes; over $25,000 to $75,000, at least three written quotes; and over $75,000, a formal bid issued by Purchasing with the award approved by the Board of County Commissioners. Limits apply to the total order, not each line item, unless a funding source says otherwise. (Putnam County Code of Ordinances, section 2-99) checked Oct 31, 2026
Where Putnam County posts bid results

A bidder who wants to challenge the intended award must file a written notice of intent to protest with the procurement services director by 4:00 p.m. on the third business day after the county posts notice of its intended recommendation, then a formal written protest within five calendar days.
