Biomedical Cleaning Services

The Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) is soliciting sealed bids under Invitation to Bid 27002JI for biomedical cleaning and decontamination services across its facilities, offices, departments, and vehicles in Broward County, Florida, with bids due November 20, 2026 through Bonfire. Certified Broward County Business Enterprise (CBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) bidders receive a preference, not a set-aside: award may be made to a CBE or SBE vendor whose bid exceeds the lowest responsive and responsible bid by no more than 5% for bids up to $100,000, 3% for bids from $100,000 to $250,000, and 1% for bids above $250,000.

Scope covers 24-hour, seven-days-a-week cleanup and disposal of biomedical waste contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, and bloodborne pathogens, in compliance with Florida Department of Health regulations and EPA standards. Estimated annual volume is 1,600 facility cleaning incidents (800 within four hours of incident, 600 after four hours, and 200 subsequent service calls) and 800 vehicle decontamination services. Rates must be all-inclusive of materials, labor, personal protective equipment, chemicals, sanitizing supplies, waste containment, and disposal. No minimum orders apply, and no additional fees are permitted without BSO approval. BSO may add or delete service locations and modify billing procedures during the term. Bidders must submit licenses, certifications, operating procedures, staff training manuals, and three professional references. The awardee designates a single representative and provides emergency contacts before commencement. Invoices are due as PDFs within five business days of service completion. Contract terms require CJIS security standards for contracts involving criminal justice information, E-Verify verification for new hires and subcontractors, and insurance including $1.0 million per occurrence commercial general liability and $1.0 million business automobile liability, with BSO and Broward County as additional insureds.

The initial term is three years from award, with two optional one-year renewals based on performance, funding availability, and BSO discretion. Prices must remain firm for 90 days from the bid due date and for the initial contract year. Afterward, Consumer Price Index-based adjustments may be requested on the contract anniversary, and per-item increases above 3% require approval from the Sheriff or representative. Most-favored-customer pricing applies throughout the term. BSO reserves the right to extend pricing and terms to other agencies under the Southeast Florida Governmental Purchasing Cooperative Group, and the ITB questionnaire asks whether bidders would extend services to other Florida sheriff's offices and governmental agencies. Payment is due 30 days after receipt of accurate invoices.

Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and BSO may make multiple awards item-by-item. The Cone of Silence applies from issue through award. Late or unsigned bids are rejected. The questionnaire requires disclosure of litigation, judgments, or debarments within the past three years and contracts cancelled or not renewed within the past five years.
