About this file
This is a Procurement Preferences document issued by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) for Broward County, Florida, applicable to Information Technology (IT) Security and Compliance Consulting Services. The document establishes procurement preference eligibility criteria for Broward County certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and County Business Enterprises (CBEs) under the Broward County Business Opportunity Act, Section 1-81 et seq. The IT Security and Compliance Consulting Services contract is an open-end, pre-qualified vendor list arrangement for the Enterprise Technology Services Division (ETS) and various other Broward County agencies on an as-needed basis. Vendors must submit responses electronically through BPRO by the specified closing date and time to receive consideration; the County will not accept submissions through alternative means.
The procurement preferences structure differs based on solicitation type. For Invitations to Bid and Quotation Requests, a certified CBE or SBE receiving a bid within ten percent (10%) of the lowest responsive, responsible bid from a non-certified vendor may match that lowest bid and receive award recommendation if responsive and responsible. For Requests 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 negotiations. Category 7 (Information Technology Project Management) is reserved exclusively for CBE firms with assigned goals; all other categories have no CBE goal participation assigned. Vendor certification must be current at the time of solicitation opening, verified through the Broward County OESBD Certified Firm Directory. Vendors should indicate certification status on the provided form, though failure to do so does not preclude preference application if certification is verified in the directory. For certification inquiries, vendors may contact OESBD at 954-357-6400.
