About this file

This is an attachment to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Florida Department of Management Services for establishing a State Term Contract for Auditing and Related Services. The document outlines mandatory responsive requirements that all respondents must acknowledge and accept to submit a compliant proposal. The RFP seeks to establish multiple statewide awards, though the Department reserves the right to award to one or multiple respondents, by region or statewide, or to make no award at its discretion. The procurement officer is Nicholas Baxter, Purchasing Analyst, located at the Division of State Purchasing in Tallahassee. Responses must be submitted through the MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network, and vendors are responsible for monitoring the Vendor Information Portal (VIP) for solicitation updates and procurement-related information throughout the process.

Respondents must certify compliance with numerous statutory requirements and vendor eligibility criteria, including verification that they are not on suspended, convicted, discriminatory, or antitrust violator vendor lists. Vendors must confirm compliance with Florida Statutes sections 286.101, 287.135, 448.095, and 787.06, regarding disclosure requirements, scrutinized company lists, e-verify compliance, and labor coercion prohibitions. For contracts valued at $1 million or more, additional certifications regarding business operations in Cuba or Syria and compliance with the State Board of Administration's Scrutinized List of Prohibited Companies are required. Respondents must provide separate technical proposals for each service category using designated attachments, submit cost proposals on Attachment C, and furnish completed vendor certification forms and foreign country of concern attestations prior to contract execution. A signed Attachment B confirming acknowledgment and ongoing compliance obligations is mandatory for proposal submission.
