About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Procurement Preferences document issued by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, establishing guidelines for small business enterprise (SBE) and county business enterprise (CBE) procurement preferences in non-reserved solicitations. The document applies to the Lost and Found Management Software contract for the Broward County Aviation Division and other County agencies. Vendors must submit responses electronically through the Bonfire BPRO platform by the specified closing date and time, with all submissions evaluated by the County's evaluation committee. The contract is an open-end agreement for software purchase and may include services from multiple Broward County agencies as needed.

The procurement preferences provide two distinct pathways depending on solicitation type. For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests, a certified CBE or SBE vendor within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible bid may match that bid and receive award recommendation. For Request for Proposals, a certified SBE or CBE proposer scoring within five percent (5%) of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer and proceed to contract negotiations. Vendor certification through Broward County OESBD must be current at the time of solicitation opening. Vendors must indicate their certification status on the submitted form, though certification will be verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. Questions regarding SBE and CBE certifications should be directed to the Office of Economic and Small Business Development at 954-357-6400.

In accordance with Section 1-81.10, of the Broward County Business Opportunity Act, Section 1-81 et seq. of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, (the “Act”), non-reserved solicitations (for certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) or County Business Enterprises (CBEs)), and solicitations without any assigned CBE goals, a responding Broward County certified SBE or CBE may be eligible for a procurement preference, in accordance with below:

For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests:

If a responsive, responsible bid is received from a certified CBE or SBE that is within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible bid received from a non-certified (SBE or CBE) Vendor, the SBE or CBE (as applicable) shall be offered the opportunity to match the lowest responsive, responsible bid. If the SBE or CBE Vendor (as applicable) is responsive and responsible, and matches the lowest responsive, responsible bid, the CBE or SBE Vendor shall be recommended for award.

For Request for Proposals:

If upon the completion of final rankings by the Evaluation Committee, a non-certified proposer is the highest-ranked proposer, and a responsive, responsible SBE or CBE proposer receives a score that is within five percent (5%) of the score obtained by the non-certified proposer, the highest-ranked responsive, responsible SBE or CBE proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer and shall have the opportunity to proceed to negotiations with the County for award of the contract.

If the Vendor does not indicate it is an SBE or CBE, preference may not be applied based on information received but certification will be verified in the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory.
