Lynkwell Now on Florida’s Cooperative EV Charging Contract

Why Lynkwell’s Florida Sheriffs Association Contract Is a Big Deal for Sheriffs’ Offices and Florida Municipalities

---

Every month a Florida sheriff’s office or municipality waits to plan its EV charging is a month closer to funding deadlines, grant cycles, and carbon reduction requirements arriving without a charging plan in place. Lynkwell is now a statewide vendor on FSA26-PWR5.0, the Florida Sheriffs Association’s Cooperative Purchasing Program contract for EV charging, power stations, equipment, and software — which means the agencies that move now have a compliant, ready-to-use path to a vendor that already knows this space.

A compliant path to procurement — already built

Cooperative purchasing gives public employees the best of both worlds: vendor access backed by the purchasing power of a statewide, competitively solicited contract. Any sheriff’s office, county, municipality, school board, water management district, police or fire department, or state university in Florida can issue a purchase order against FSA26-PWR5.0 knowing the underlying competitive process, pricing, and terms have already been vetted and locked in for the full contract term (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028).

That compliant, pre-vetted process is what saves agencies time and money during procurement, while keeping the purchase — and the dollars behind it — with a vendor already serving their community.

Why the vendor matters as much as the contract

A contract is a vehicle that only gets an agency halfway there. The other half is a vendor who has actually deployed EV charging for public agencies before — sizing the right equipment, navigating utility interconnection, and standing behind the hardware after it’s installed. Lynkwell’s team has already done that work across fleet and municipal deployments, and this award puts that experience directly in reach for every eligible Florida agency, with no separate bid required to access it.

The combination of the ViaLynk network, hardware, and EVSE360’s warranty coverage means uptime isn’t a gamble — ViaLynk delivers industry-leading network uptime, and EVSE360 backs every unit with a 5-year full warranty, including labor, underwritten by an A+ rated insurance carrier. Agencies that go a different route are often left stitching together a charger from one vendor and a network platform from another, with no single point of accountability when something goes wrong.

Backed by Nayax

Lynkwell is a Nayax company, and that backing is part of what agencies can appreciate. Nayax is a global payments and IoT platform that already runs unattended, cashless payment infrastructure across EV charging, vending, laundry, parking, and fuel— at scale, in production, in markets around the world. For a sheriff’s office or municipality evaluating a contract, that means:

• Financial stability and scale. Agencies are contracting with a global platform company, not a single-product startup — reducing the risk of a vendor that can’t support the contract for its full term.
• Proven payments infrastructure. Nayax’s core business is reliable, cashless payment processing at unattended sites. That same infrastructure underpins ViaLynk, so agencies get payment reliability that’s already been tested at scale elsewhere.
• A broader roadmap. As part of Nayax, Lynkwell can draw on shared technology and integration capabilities across Nayax’s wider IoT and payments ecosystem — not just what one team built in isolation.

The agencies that act now set the pace

FSA26-PWR5.0 is open to hundreds of eligible Florida public agencies, but early movers get first access to Lynkwell’s team, current lead times, and locked-in contract pricing. For Florida sheriffs’ offices and municipalities weighing vendors on this contract, Lynkwell isn’t just the awarded name on the paperwork — it’s a team with EV charging experience, backed by a parent company with a track record of keeping unattended, cashless infrastructure running, available on a contract that’s already done the compliance work.
