About this opportunity

Orange County, Florida, through its Procurement Division, is soliciting sealed electronic bids for Veterinary Supplies for the Animal Services Division under Solicitation Y25-122. The procurement seeks an authorized distributor to provide a comprehensive range of veterinary medical supplies, including diagnostic rotors, surgical equipment, medical consumables, gloves, endotracheal tubes, and specialized veterinary items. The county requires new, unused products with at least a six-month shelf life, to be delivered to the Animal Services facility at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando. Bidders must submit electronic responses via the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by February 20, 2025, at 4:00 pm EST, with questions due by January 29, 2025, at 5:00 pm EST. The contract will be for one year with potential for four additional one-year renewals, and the county reserves the right to award on an all-or-none or item-by-item basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Evaluation will focus on competitive pricing, product quality, manufacturer authorizations, and the ability to meet specific delivery and packaging requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract includes 76 line items with estimated annual quantities, though there is no minimum purchase commitment. Contractors must provide unit prices, proposed brands/manufacturers, and total estimated annual costs. Additional contractual requirements include anti-human trafficking attestations, E-Verify employment verification, and compliance with non-discrimination policies. While no specific budget range is detailed, the comprehensive nature of the 76-line item fee schedule suggests a significant annual procurement value for veterinary supplies. Delivery is permitted Sunday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., excluding County-recognized holidays, with contractors required to notify the County within 24 hours of any out-of-stock or back-ordered items. The solicitation emphasizes the need for products that meet FDA and DEA requirements, with specific packaging and temperature storage guidelines.
