About this file
This document is a Procurement Preferences Form from the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, outlining eligibility requirements and preferences for Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and County Business Enterprises (CBEs) participating in the FEMA Emergency Food Service solicitation. The solicitation requests vendors to provide comprehensive catering and food and beverage services following declared emergencies or disaster-related events, with services to be delivered in compliance with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement requirements for Water and Wastewater Services and other Broward County agencies. Vendors must submit all solicitation responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time to receive consideration, and the County strongly encourages vendors to provide all available documentation, including optional items, to facilitate timely and comprehensive evaluation. Questions and clarification requests must be submitted through BPRO by the designated deadline.
For non-reserved solicitations without assigned CBE goals, certified SBEs or CBEs may qualify for procurement preferences if they meet specific criteria. In Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests, a certified SBE or CBE with a responsive and responsible bid within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible non-certified bid shall be offered the opportunity to match that lowest bid for potential award. In Request for Proposals, a responsive and responsible SBE or CBE proposer scoring within five percent (5%) of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer and may proceed to contract negotiations. Vendor certification must be current at the time of solicitation opening, and certification status will be verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. Vendors should contact the Office of Economic and Small Business Development at 954-357-6400 for questions regarding SBE and CBE certification status.
