4-Attachment F - References.pdf

This is a References document supporting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Biomedical Equipment and Related Items issued by Harris County Public Health Services in Texas. The document serves as Attachment F to the ITB solicitation and is designed to establish credibility and performance history requirements for potential bidders. The references section requires interested vendors to provide documented examples of similar work performed, demonstrating their experience in supplying biomedical equipment and related items to governmental or healthcare entities. This attachment functions as an evaluation criterion to assess bidder qualifications and track records prior to contract award for the one-year term beginning approximately May 1, 2026.

The references requirement ensures that Harris County Public Health Services can verify vendor capability, reliability, and past performance in delivering biomedical equipment within healthcare or public health settings. By requiring bidders to submit references from previous clients, the county establishes accountability mechanisms and reduces procurement risk. This qualification step is a standard industry practice for complex equipment procurement and helps the county make informed award decisions based on proven vendor experience and customer satisfaction records from comparable projects or supply arrangements.
