The School District of Lee County (Bonfire portal) similarly has no current IT helpdesk or cybersecurity RFPs open (only unrelated bids)leeschools.net<ref>{{cite web|title=leeschools.net|url=https://www.leeschools.net/our_district/departments/business_services/procurement_services/active_solicitations#:~:text=Solicitation%20Title%20Solicitation%20Documents%20Due,20%2C%202025%20Open%20Lauri%20Adams|publisher=leeschools.net|access-date=2025-11-15}}</ref>. The Town of Fort Myers Beach uses DemandStar for procurement; their most recent “Technical Support Services” RFP was awarded in 2020demandstar.com<ref>{{cite web|title=demandstar.com|url=https://www.demandstar.com/app/agencies/florida/town-of-fort-myers-beach/procurement-opportunities/2d60cc64-55c4-4c46-a204-e8f7e00ce5dc/#:~:text=DemandStar%20www,2020%2F|publisher=demandstar.com|access-date=2025-11-15}}</ref> and no new IT support RFP is currently open. Nearby municipalities like Cape Coral (IonWave portal) and the City of Naples do not list any open bids for managed IT or cybersecurity services at this time (their current solicitations are construction or infrastructure-related). However, all these agencies regularly post opportunities on the mentioned e-procurement platforms, so vendors should monitor DemandStar, OpenGov, and Bonfire for future IT support and cybersecurity solicitations. The Florida Vendor Bid System (MFMP) is also worth watching for regional opportunities (e.g. Charlotte County’s recent FEMA grant services RFP) even if not directly focused on ITdms.myflorida.com<ref>{{cite web|title=dms.myflorida.com|url=https://www.dms.myflorida.com/business_operations/state_purchasing/office_of_supplier_development_osd/vendor_resources/current_bid_opportunities/charlotte_county-_rfp_no._20250142_fema_grant_management_services_annual_contract#:~:text=URL%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dms.myflorida.com%2Fbusiness_operations%2Fstate_purchasing%2Foffice_o%20f_supplier_development_osd%2Fvendor_resources%2Fcurrent_bid_opportunities%2Fcharlotte_%20county,to%20Main%20Content|publisher=dms.myflorida.com|access-date=2025-11-15}}</ref>.
