5-OESBD Ownership Disclosure.docx

This is an ownership disclosure form document from Broward County related to a procurement opportunity for Call Branding for 911 Abandoned Call-Backs services. The form is part of an open-end contract solicitation by Broward County's Office of Regional Communications and Technology Services Division for call branding services to support 911 abandoned call-backs, with the contract potentially serving various other county agencies that may require these services or products. The solicitation includes Enterprise Technology Services Security Requirements and Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) requirements, with vendors required to submit responses electronically through the BPRO system and receive confirmation of submission.

The ownership disclosure form is being collected solely for informational purposes to support Broward County's research on possible contracting opportunity disparities and will be maintained separately from other solicitation records with access limited to authorized personnel only. The county explicitly states that the ownership information will not be used in determining contract awards, in accordance with Florida Statute 287.05701, which prohibits consideration of vendors' social, political, or ideological interests in responsible vendor determinations. The procurement includes preferences for Small Business Enterprises (SBE) and County Business Enterprises (CBE), and vendors must submit the ownership disclosure form through a separate link rather than including it in their electronic bid response.
