About this file
This file is a Drug-Free Workplace Program Certification exhibit from the State of Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) for the Preadmission Screening and Resident Review (PASRR) procurement (RFP 001-26/27). The certification establishes requirements that businesses must meet to qualify for preference consideration in the bid award process when identical or tie bids are received from multiple vendors with equal pricing, quality, and service ratings. Vendors seeking this preference must publish statements to employees prohibiting unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances in the workplace; inform employees of drug abuse dangers, company drug-free policies, and available counseling and assistance programs; provide each employee working on the contract a copy of the policy statement; require employees to notify the employer within five days of any conviction or guilty plea related to controlled substance violations; and impose sanctions or require participation in drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation programs on violating employees. Additionally, vendors must demonstrate good faith efforts to maintain a drug-free workplace through ongoing implementation of these requirements.
Respondents are required to have an authorized official sign and certify full compliance with all drug-free workplace program requirements outlined in the exhibit. This certification serves as a tiebreaker mechanism in the vendor selection process, providing procurement preference to businesses demonstrating commitment to maintaining drug-free work environments. If no tied vendors possess a drug-free workplace program certification, established procedures for processing tied awards will be followed according to standard state procurement practices.

EXHIBIT A-6
CERTIFICATION OF DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE PROGRAM
In the event of Identical or Tie Bids/Proposals: Preference shall be given to businesses with drug-free workplace programs. Whenever two or more bids which are equal with respect to price, quality, and service are received by the State or by any political subdivision for the procurement of commodities or contractual services, a bid received from a business that certifies that it has implemented a drug-free work place program shall be given preference in the award process. Established procedures for processing tied awards will be followed if none of the tied vendors have a drug-free workplace program. In order to have a drug-free workplace program, a business shall:
1) Publish a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the workplace and specifying the actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.
2) Inform employees about the dangers of drug abuse in the workplace, the business’s policy of maintaining a drug-free workplace, any available drug counseling, rehabilitation, and employee assistance programs, and the penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug abuse violations.
3) Give each employee engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services that are under bid a copy of the statement specified in subsection (1).
4) In the statement specified in subsection (1), notify the employees that, as a condition of working on the commodities or contractual services that are under bid, the employee will abide by the terms of the statement and will notify the employer of any conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any violation of chapter 893 or of any controlled substance law of the United States or any state, for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such conviction.
5) Impose a sanction on, or require the satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program if such is available in the employee’s community by, any employee who is so convicted.
6) Make a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug-free workplace through implementation of this section.
As the person authorized to sign the statement, I certify that this firm complies fully with the above requirements.
