Contracted Reviews

 

Overview

In addition to conducting program evaluations and policy research, OPPAGA serves as the contract manager for outsourced projects when directed to do so by the presiding officers, substantive law, or appropriations proviso. Such projects include a range of topics, from statewide to agency-specific to local government programs and issues.

Discretionary Sales Surtax Performance Audits

Section 212.055(11), Florida Statutes, directs OPPAGA to procure an independent certified public accountant to conduct a performance audit of the county or school district program associated with any referendum to adopt or amend a discretionary sales surtax under s. 212.055, Florida Statutes.

Special District Performance Reviews

Section 189.0695, Florida Statutes, directs OPPAGA to conduct performance reviews of each independent special fire control district located in a rural area of opportunity as well as all independent mosquito control districts, all soil and water conservations districts, and neighborhood improvement districts. The statute authorizes OPPAGA to procure a contractor to complete the reviews.

Other Reviews

Policy 12.3(8) of the Florida Legislature's Joint Policies and Procedures of the Presiding Officers, notes that contract management for program evaluation and policy research is a key OPPAGA function.

Now Accepting Proposals 

OPPAGA is now accepting proposals from experienced consultants to conduct an evaluation of Florida's AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), as directed by specific appropriation 476 of the 2026 General Appropriations Act.  Qualified vendor teams must include, at a minimum, a qualified independent actuary and a certified public accountant with expertise in health insurance coverage and financing, pharmaceutical manufacturer pricing and rebate arrangements, and health care financial analysis. Such individuals must be independent of the Florida Department of Health and may not be affiliated with any entity currently contracting with the department related to the ADAP program. Proposals should be submitted as soon as possible.  OPPAGA anticipates making a recommendation on or before August 3, 2026.
