Florida Foundation Seed Producers, Inc. (FFSP) is announcing this Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for the exclusive licensing opportunity for the 'UF19-65' and 'UF19-72' basil cultivars. These cultivars were developed by the basil breeding program at the University of Florida's Department of Environmental Horticulture under the direction of Dr. David Clark.
For more information about these cultivars, please click here.
FFSP encourages technology transfer to be an open process among all interested external parties. Because this germplasm may be exclusively licensed, the award of this exclusive license will be handled through our ITN process. If you or your company are unfamiliar with the ITN process, please click here for more information.
There are four (4) principles used to guide the entire FFSP ITN process. In order of importance, these principles are:
- For the good of the State of Florida and its people;
- For the good of the University of Florida and IFAS;
- For the good of the breeding program and the breeders; and
- For the good of world food security.
These four (4) principles are to be addressed at all levels of discussion in the ITN process.
All interested parties are encouraged to submit comments and/or proposals. In order to submit comments and/or proposals, you must first complete and submit the ITN Acknowledgment Form to FFSP via email (jholm@ffsp.net) or via fax or mail (Fax: (877) 839-9162, Mail: 1604 McCarty Drive, Room G070, PO Box 110200, Gainesville, FL 32611-0200). The ITN Acknowledgment Form can be found at the end of the ITN Announcement Packet.
After FFSP has received your signed ITN Acknowledgment Form, your company will be sent a questionnaire, which may be used as a template for your proposal.
