16. ETHICS IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

The Board of County Commissioners, Pasco County, is reviewing a civic agenda item concerning ethics in public procurement. This item will incorporate provisions from Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, into resulting contracts. It outlines restrictions for individuals or affiliates on the convicted vendor list, preventing them from bidding on or performing work for public entities, including construction or repair of public works. The review stage means this is an early opportunity for businesses to understand upcoming procurement rules. While no specific construction project is detailed, the agenda item sets standards for future contracts. This could involve site preparation, construction, or supply work for public entities. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this review process to understand how these ethics provisions may affect future bidding and contract requirements. Engaging early can provide insight into compliance needs and potential opportunities as contracts are developed.
