Sunshine State signs on with DHL services

Express delivery and logistics company DHL announced that Florida’s Department of Management Services renewed its contract with the firm as the exclusive courier services provider for all the state’s agencies and institutions.

Through the new contract, DHL will provide several customized services for Florida including a special visibility program to identify time-sensitive state shipments and a dedicated 1-800 customer service line for state users.

Under the contract, DHL will continue to provide time-sensitive deliveries for state agencies, including medications, vaccines, and other temperature-sensitive shipments for the Florida Department of Health, state pharmacies, and labs. The carrier’s Controlled Transit Shipment (CTS) program developed for Florida enables close monitoring of temperature-sensitive shipments to protect them during weather delays or other unforeseen events.
