About this file

This is a Procurement Preferences form issued by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, in connection with an open-end contract for the purchase and delivery of Airport Runway and Ramp Acrylic Traffic Paint for the Aviation Department and various other County agencies. The solicitation is being conducted through BPRO, and vendors must submit responses electronically through that platform by the specified closing date and time to receive consideration. A questions and clarification period is provided, with all inquiries required to be submitted through BPRO by the designated deadline. Vendors are encouraged to submit their responses well in advance of the closing date to ensure timely receipt.

The procurement preferences outlined in this form apply to Broward County certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and County Business Enterprises (CBEs) in non-reserved solicitations without assigned CBE goals. For competitive bids, a certified SBE or CBE within ten percent of the lowest responsive, responsible bid may match that bid and be recommended for award. For proposals evaluated by committee, an SBE or CBE scoring within five percent 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 as of the solicitation opening date, and certification verification will be conducted through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. Prospective vendors should indicate their SBE or CBE certification status on the form and contact the OESBD at 954-357-6400 for certification-related questions.
