Vendors must be able to provide items from a long list of manufacturers (e.g., Aqua Lung, Hollis, Mares, Oceanic, etc.) and must be registered in the County’s Vendor Self‑Service system. The contract will be “as‑needed,” with no guaranteed minimum volume, and will be awarded to any vendor that meets the pre‑qualification criteria and complies with all local, state, and federal regulations (including safety standards, non‑discrimination, and public‑records requirements).
• Pre‑qualification deadline: February 1, 2024 4:00 PM (no later submissions accepted).
• No pre‑bid meeting or site visit required.
• Vendors must hold all relevant certifications, licenses, and insurance (CGL ≥ $500k, auto ≥ $500k, workers’ comp, etc.).
• Only vendors approved by the Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Department will be considered.
• Delivery locations may change during the contract term at no extra charge.
• The solicitation emphasizes compliance with the County’s Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) program and local‑preference rules.
• No specific contract award date or project duration is disclosed; the term contract is indefinite and ordered on an as‑needed basis.
