About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida is soliciting sealed electronic offers through the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform for the purchase of a Mobile Veterinary Medical Unit for Animal Services, identified as Solicitation Y24-609. The procurement seeks a specialized mobile veterinary vehicle, specifically a Ford Cutaway E-450 Chassis or equivalent, measuring 25-30 feet long, designed to provide free or low-cost rabies vaccines and microchips to county residents. The unit must be equipped with a hybrid power generation system, including an 8-hour runtime generator, solar panel, inverter, and two 12V batteries, along with comprehensive interior amenities such as a stainless steel exam table, bathroom, refrigerator, air conditioning, and backup camera. Potential bidders are required to submit detailed descriptive literature and comply with comprehensive technical specifications. Key submission deadlines include June 27, 2024, at 5:00 pm EST for questions, and August 1, 2024, at 4:00 pm EST for final electronic responses, with the contract to be awarded on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does emphasize compliance with Orange County's non-discrimination policies and business development goals. Bidders must meet several qualification requirements, including providing references, complying with E-Verify employment verification, submitting a drug-free workplace certification, and disclosing potential conflicts of interest. The mobile unit must be delivered within 365 calendar days of the purchase order and includes a one-year warranty covering materials and workmanship. While no specific budget range is detailed, the comprehensive specifications suggest a significant investment in a fully-equipped mobile medical unit capable of supporting one veterinarian and 2-3 technicians per event. The procurement is designed to enhance Orange County Animal Services' capacity to provide critical veterinary services to county residents through a mobile, flexible medical unit.
