About this file
Attachment S is a Tie-Breaking Certifications document for RFP #10891 issued by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), designed to establish preferences in the event of equally rated proposal submissions. The document outlines five specific designations that can provide competitive advantages during the procurement process: (a) Drug Free Workplace, (b) Certified Minority Business Enterprise, (c) Service-Disabled Veteran's Business Enterprise, (d) Florida Business, and (e) Foreign Manufacturer with a Factory in Florida. Respondents are encouraged to check applicable "True" boxes, with multiple designations potentially being claimed, and are required to provide supporting documentation if a tie-breaker scenario occurs.
The tie-breaking certifications provide specific statutory preferences, such as awarding contracts to certified minority businesses or service-disabled veteran enterprises when proposals are otherwise equal. For designations involving minority or veteran businesses, respondents must disclose their net worth, and the document includes a signature section for formally certifying the claimed designation. The preferences are rooted in Florida Statutes including sections 287.087, 287.057(11), 295.187, 287.084, and 287.092, which aim to provide competitive advantages to businesses meeting specific state-defined criteria, ultimately promoting diversity and supporting local and specialized business sectors.
