Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) (“Blink”), a leading
owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging
equipment and services, today announced the successful contract
award with the Florida Sheriffs Association Cooperative Purchasing
Program (CPP) as an official vendor for electric vehicle power
stations.
Founded in 1993, the Cooperative Purchasing
Program (CPP), a cooperation of the Florida Sheriffs Association
with the Florida Association of Counties and the Florida Fire
Chiefs Association, offers streamlined statewide purchasing
contracts for local governments, county sheriffs, county
government, local county boards, municipalities, police agencies,
other local public or public safety agencies, and state
universities and colleges.
“The Florida Sheriffs Association (FSA)
Cooperative Purchasing Program is excited to welcome Blink to our
new electric vehicle charging stations and software contract,” said
FSA Executive Director Steve Casey. “The new FSA contract will
streamline the integration and execution of electric vehicle
deployment for local governments and municipalities, improving
mobility and safety for the ever-increasing number of Floridians
that drive electric cars.”
The CPP provides value to public procurement
departments, allowing agencies to aggregate demand to procure EV
hardware and services from pre-selected EV charging suppliers
including Florida based Blink. As a CPP vendor, Blink products will
be made widely available to CPP participants, providing them with
direct access to Blink’s EV charging solutions. As a preferred CPP
vendor, Blink now has the potential to reach and contract with
thousands of state and local agencies, municipalities, and
educational organizations across Florida.
“As the EV industry continues to grow, we are
thrilled to see the number of EV options now available for law
enforcement agencies and public safety fleets,” said Amy Dobrikova,
vice president of fleet solutions at Blink. “To meet the demands of
new EV fleets, it’s imperative that public agencies begin the
process now for installing EV chargers to be ready and able as new
vehicles are delivered.”
Dobrikova continued, “The Florida Sheriffs
Association is setting an example for all agencies, not only in
Florida but nationwide, as an innovative and forward-thinking
association. By being proactive in EV Charging purchases and
planning, they will better serve their communities.”

charging provider, delivering advanced technology solutions for all
