County Contracts

Each successful Bidder under a County goods and services contract must notify the South Florida Workforce Investment Board (SFWIB) about each related job vacancy prior to hiring. Under the First Source Hiring Referral Program they must also make good faith efforts to fill a minimum of 50 percent of its employment needs under the County contract through the SFWIB. Quarterly employment reports must also be submitted to the SFWIB.

Municipalities, non-profits and other non-County agencies that wish to access Miami-Dade County contracts must complete a Joint Purchase and Entity Revenue Sharing Agreement. Once approved, this agreement allows non-County agencies to access Miami-Dade County contracts, benefiting from contract pricing, terms and conditions.

Listed below are several online services that can help prospective bidders by providing details about Solicitations, Requests for Price Quotations, Award Recommendations and Awarded Contracts.

In accordance with ordinance, the County is required to post award recommendations for contracts between $25,000.01 and $250,000.00 prior to their actual award.

The proposed bid award can be protested within three business days of posting the bid recommendations. Visit the Bid Protest page for information on how to file a bid protest.
