Verdek Renews Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Contract, Adds Tesla Supercharger to an Expanded EV Charging Lineup
Aug 11, 2026 11:20 AM

MONROE, Conn., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verdek, LLC, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure solutions, announced today that its contract under the Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA) Cooperative Purchasing Program for Electric Vehicle Charging, Power Stations, Equipment & Software (FSA26-PWR5.0) has been renewed for an additional two years, extending Verdek's status as an awarded vendor through June 30, 2028.

The renewal arrives with major news for Florida's public agencies: the Tesla Supercharger (V4) is now available under FSA26-PWR5.0 for the first time, giving sheriffs' offices, counties, municipalities, school districts, and other eligible purchasers a compliant, pre-competed path to Tesla's DC fast-charging platform through Verdek — without requiring a separate RFP.

Tesla Supercharger Now on Contract

The addition of the Tesla V4 Supercharger is one of the most significant updates to the FSA26-PWR5.0 award since it was first issued. Tesla's Supercharger network is among the most widely used and reliable DC fast-charging platforms in North America, and its inclusion gives Florida agencies a new high-power charging option as electric fleets across the state continue to grow.

A Wider Charger Lineup from Verdek

Beyond Tesla, the renewed contract carries a substantially expanded product lineup — 22 awarded items spanning 9 manufacturers across four equipment categories:

Level 2 Chargers — Autel MaxiCharger and ChargePoint CT4000 / CP6000 seriesDC Fast Charging — ABB, Autel MaxiCharger DC, ChargePoint Express Plus, Samsung, Tesla, and TritiumPortable / Mobile Charging & Power Stations — Charge Rigs FLEXX and Lincoln Electric Velion MobileSoftware & Equipment — ampUp EVCloud charger management softwareThis breadth gives Florida purchasers the flexibility to standardize on a single vendor while choosing the hardware that best fits each site — from single-port workplace charging 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."

"We are pleased to welcome Verdek as an awarded vendor on this contract," said Megan Taber, Director of the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program. "Through our competitive solicitation process, we strive to provide public agencies with high-quality procurement solutions that promote competition, value, and choice."

Simplifying Procurement for Florida's Public Sector

The Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing Program is widely used by public entities throughout Florida as a trusted procurement resource. By leveraging competitively awarded contracts, participating agencies can reduce administrative burden, shorten project timelines, and gain access to qualified vendors offering vetted products and services.

With this renewed and expanded contract, Verdek is positioned to help agencies implement charging infrastructure for:
