What is MyFloridaMarketPlace?
MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) is the State of Florida’s source for centralized procurement which began July 1, 2003
One-stop shop for accessing on-line catalogs and information about vendors that provide goods and services to the State
More Choice: MFMP provides 24/7 online access to the system’s registered vendors, State Term Contracts, quoting, and sourcing
Reduced Error Rates: More validation of purchasing and F&A information.
Faster order processing time: By automating the transactions, contracts, and approvals; the time for requisition to payment is reduced
Reduction in the cost of goods and services: MFMP leverages its significant buying power by enabling Florida to act as a single entity during contract and purchasing negotiations to receive the best value on goods and services for state agencies
