From the meeting
The Other Services and Charges detail funds Contract Services at $1,026,141 for fiscal year 2027. In the same row, this rises to $1,026,141 under 2027 Budget from $469,900 under 2026 Budget, a 118% increase. Budget narrative says this category includes contract services, contract labor, lease expense, memberships, and subscriptions, and elsewhere calls out IT contracted services, cyber security subscriptions, payroll service, NOAA Port System, aerial map subscription, and notification services.
The budget names the spend type but not vendors, so scope definition remains open.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will PORT FREEPORT issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks PORT FREEPORT's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with PORT FREEPORT before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
