About this file
This document is a procurement preferences form from the Broward County Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) related to a contract for Occupational Medical Services and Drug & Alcohol Testing. The open-end contract is designed to purchase medical services and testing programs for the Broward County Risk Management Division and potentially other county agencies, with vendors required to submit responses electronically through the BPRO system by a specified closing date.
The document outlines specific procurement preferences for Small Business Enterprises (SBE) and County Business Enterprises (CBE) in Broward County. For Invitations to Bid, a certified SBE or CBE within 10% of the lowest bid can match the price and potentially be recommended for award. For Request for Proposals, if a certified SBE or CBE scores within 5% of the highest-ranked non-certified proposer, they can proceed to contract negotiations. Vendors must be certified by the Broward County OESBD at the time of solicitation opening, and certification can be verified in the County's Certified Firm Directory. Questions about certification can be directed to OESBD at 954-357-6400.
