About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida, through its Fire Rescue Department, is soliciting sealed offers for an EMS Medications contract (Y24-1046-KS) to procure various pharmaceutical and medical supplies for emergency medical services. The procurement involves 31 line items of medications including Adenocard, Albuterol Sulfate, Amiodarone, Aspirin, and Atropine Sulfate, with quantities ranging from 10 to 400 units per item. Contractors must electronically submit bids via the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by July 16, 2024, at 4:00 pm EST, with a mandatory pre-submission account registration. Potential suppliers must ensure medications have a minimum 12-month expiration date from delivery and comply with Drug Enforcement Administration shipping guidelines. Contractors are required to ship medications within seven calendar days of order receipt and provide written notification within 24 hours if a product is unavailable or backordered. The initial contract term is one year with potential for four additional one-year renewals, and respondents are encouraged to bid on all items but not required to do so.
The solicitation includes provisions for M/WBE subcontracting guidelines and requires contractors to complete E-Verify employment verification. While no specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract includes flexible pricing terms allowing for potential price escalation or de-escalation based on manufacturer pricing. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with various legal and ethical certifications, though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the documents. The procurement does not appear to have strict set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but does emphasize broad participation. Submission requirements are stringent, with electronic submission being the only acceptable method and no provisions for hand-delivery, mailing, faxing, or emailing offers. Technical support for the procurement platform is available through chat, email, and phone, with support hours from 8am to 8pm EST, Monday through Friday. Potential suppliers can submit clarifying questions through the ProcureNow platform until June 26, 2024, at 5:00 pm EST.
