About this file
This is a Procurement Preferences form issued by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development for Broward County, Florida, establishing eligibility criteria for Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and County Business Enterprises (CBEs) seeking procurement preferences in non-reserved solicitations. The form applies to the Utility Bill Collection Services contract, an open-end procurement for Water and Wastewater Services and other Broward County agencies. Vendors must submit responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time, with the County providing a designated period for vendors to submit questions and seek clarifications regarding solicitation requirements. All submissions must receive a Submission Receipt through BPRO, and the County will not accept responses submitted through alternative means.
For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests, a certified CBE or SBE vendor may receive a procurement preference if its responsive and responsible bid is within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible bid from a non-certified vendor; such vendors are offered the opportunity to match the lowest bid and secure award if they remain responsive and responsible. For Request for Proposals, a certified SBE or CBE proposer whose score is within five percent (5%) of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer may be elevated to highest-ranked status and proceed to contract negotiations. Vendor certification by Broward County as an SBE or CBE must be in effect at the time of solicitation opening, which can be verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. This procurement preference form does not substitute for actual certification and does not apply if the vendor fails to indicate SBE or CBE status at submission.
