Summary

This is a procurement preferences form from the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, applicable to the Seating Upholstery Services solicitation for Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The form establishes eligibility requirements and preference mechanisms for certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and County Business Enterprises (CBEs) in non-reserved solicitations without assigned CBE goals. Vendors responding to this opportunity must indicate their certification status at the time of solicitation opening, though certification verification will also be conducted through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. The scope of work involves furnishing seating upholstery services at the airport for the Aviation Department, with vendors required to submit responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time.

For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests, a certified SBE or CBE within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible bid from a non-certified vendor will be offered the opportunity to match that lowest bid and receive award recommendation if they meet responsiveness and responsibility standards. For Request for Proposals, a certified SBE or CBE proposer within five percent (5%) of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer's score will be elevated to highest-ranked status and proceed to contract negotiations. Vendors must be currently certified at the time of solicitation opening; certification status will be verified independently by the County. The form does not substitute for actual certification or application for certification, and vendors requiring clarification regarding SBE and CBE certifications should contact the Office of Economic and Small Business Development at 954-357-6400. Vendors are strongly encouraged to submit all relevant documentation, including optional items, to enable timely and comprehensive evaluation.
