About this file

This is a Request for Approved Equals form issued by Broward County, Florida, related to a seating upholstery services solicitation for the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport's Aviation Department. The form provides a standardized template through which vendors may request approval of alternative products that meet or exceed the specifications outlined in the original solicitation. Vendors must submit requests by the deadline specified in the Special Instructions to Vendors section, with all submissions delivered via email to the Purchasing Agent rather than through the electronic bidding system. The County will issue responses to Approved Equals requests through addendum, and vendors are required to submit relevant product literature demonstrating compliance with all solicitation requirements. Incomplete requests will not be reviewed by the County.

The form requires vendors to provide complete identification information including company name, contact details, and the specific solicitation number and title. Vendors must reference the applicable page number and specification number from the original solicitation, identify the original manufacturer and model specified, and provide a detailed description of the proposed product being submitted for approved equal consideration. The County will evaluate each request and issue a determination of either Approved or Not Approved status, with reasons provided for any denied requests. This process ensures that vendors can propose equivalent alternatives while maintaining the County's ability to assess whether proposed substitutes meet the project's technical and quality requirements.
