About this file
This is a Procurement Preferences form issued by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, establishing eligibility criteria for small business enterprise (SBE) and county business enterprise (CBE) vendors responding to the Instrumentation Gases contract opportunity. The contract covers the purchase of gas cylinders, including delivery and retrieval of empty cylinders for equipment and laboratory instrumentation used by multiple county departments: the Environmental Monitoring Laboratory, Ambient Air Monitoring section of the Natural Resources Division, Wastewater Services Laboratory, Medical Examiner's Office, and Port Everglades. This is an open-ended contract with no specified quantities, response dates, or award dates identified in the preference documentation. Vendors must submit responses electronically through BPRO by the closing date and time specified in the solicitation, with the County providing a designated period for vendors to submit questions and seek clarification regarding solicitation requirements.
Broward County certified SBE and CBE vendors are eligible for procurement preferences under the Broward County Code of Ordinances Section 1-81 et seq. For invitations to bid and quotation requests, a certified SBE or CBE vendor with a bid within ten percent of the lowest responsive, responsible bid from a non-certified vendor may be offered the opportunity to match that lowest bid; if matched, the SBE or CBE vendor shall be recommended for award. For request for proposals, an SBE or CBE proposer scoring within five percent of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer shall be considered the highest-ranked proposer and may proceed to negotiations. Vendor certification must be active at the time of solicitation opening, which will be verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. Vendors must indicate their certification status on the form; those without indicated certification may still qualify if verification confirms active status at time of submission.
