About this file
This is Exhibit A-6 (Certification of Drug-Free Workplace Program) from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) related to ITN 012-23/24 for the Statewide Health Information Exchange (HIE) Service procurement. The document outlines the certification requirements for vendors to establish drug-free workplace programs, which provides a preference in the award process when there are identical or tie bids/proposals.
The certification requires businesses to meet six specific requirements, including publishing an anti-drug policy statement, informing employees about drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, distributing the policy to employees, requiring employee notification of drug-related convictions, implementing sanctions or rehabilitation requirements for violations, and maintaining ongoing drug-free workplace efforts. Vendors must sign the certification confirming their compliance with these requirements to be eligible for the tie-breaker preference.

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.
