Verdek, LLC has announced that its contract under the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program for Electric Vehicle Charging, Power Stations, Equipment and Software has been renewed for an additional two years, extending the company’s status as an awarded vendor through June 30, 2028.
The renewed contract, identified as FSA26-PWR5.0, gives eligible Florida public agencies continued access to Verdek’s electric vehicle charging infrastructure solutions through a competitively awarded purchasing program. For the first time, the Tesla Supercharger V4 is included under the contract, allowing sheriffs’ offices, counties, municipalities, school districts and other eligible purchasers to procure Tesla’s DC fast-charging platform through Verdek without issuing a separate request for proposals.
The addition of the Tesla V4 Supercharger marks a significant update to the contract. Tesla’s Supercharger network is among the most widely used DC fast-charging platforms in North America, and its inclusion provides Florida agencies with another high-power charging option as electric fleets continue to expand across the state.
The renewed agreement also includes an expanded product lineup from Verdek, covering 22 awarded items from nine manufacturers across four equipment categories. These include Level 2 chargers from Autel and ChargePoint; DC fast-charging products from ABB, Autel, ChargePoint, Samsung, Tesla and Tritium; portable and mobile charging and power station solutions from Charge Rigs and Lincoln Electric; and ampUp EVCloud charger management software.
Verdek said the broader lineup will allow Florida purchasers to work through a single vendor while selecting hardware suited to different locations, from workplace charging sites to high-power DC fast-charging hubs.
“Being able to renew this contract — and expand it to include Tesla — is a significant milestone for Verdek and for the agencies we serve across Florida,” said Guy Mannino, CEO of Verdek. “Public safety agencies, municipalities, and school districts are all under pressure to modernize their fleets, and this renewal gives them a wider set of proven charging technologies to choose from, all through one streamlined, pre-competed contract.”
Megan Taber, director of the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program, said the program aims to provide public agencies with procurement solutions that promote competition, value and choice.
The Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program is used by public entities across Florida to reduce administrative burdens, shorten project timelines and access qualified vendors through competitively awarded contracts. Under the renewed agreement, Verdek is positioned to support charging infrastructure for fleet electrification, public charging programs, workplace charging, transit depots, school bus charging, municipal fleets and emergency and public safety fleets.
Verdek provides turnkey electric vehicle charging infrastructure services, including planning, engineering, installation, commissioning, maintenance and long-term support. Since 2008, the company has worked with government agencies, commercial organizations, utilities, educational institutions and fleet operators to support transportation electrification.
The Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program has operated since 1993, helping public agencies procure equipment and services through competitive contracts designed to streamline purchasing, improve efficiency and support responsible use of public funds.
