Florida Foundation Seed Producers, Inc. (FFSP) is announcing this Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for the exclusive licensing opportunity for the 'Solar Dancer' tomato hybrid. This hybrid was developed by the tomato breeding program at the University of Florida's Gulf Coast Research & Education Center under the direction of Dr. Samuel Hutton.

FFSP encourages technology transfer to be an open process among all interested external parties. Because this variety may be exclusively licensed, the award of the exclusive license will be handled through our ITN process.

- For the good of the University of Florida and IFAS;

- For the good of world food security.
These four (4) principles are to be addressed at all levels of discussion in the ITN process.
