Agenda 02/28/2023 Item #16D 3 (Contract #22-038-NS In-shelter Pet Food w/ Hill's Pet Nutrition Sales, Inc.)16.D.3
02/28/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve Non -Standard Agreement #22-038-NS "In -Shelter Pet Food" with Hill's Pet
Nutrition Sales, Inc., to serve as the exclusive supplier of pet food products and pet nutrition education
services for Domestic Animal Services of Collier County and approve expenditures in an amount not -to -
exceed $100,000 per fiscal year.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain a supplier of dog and cat food products and pet nutrition education services for the
Collier County Domestic Animal Services Division (DAS) shelter.
CONSIDERATIONS: Hill's Pet Nutrition Sales, Inc. ("Hill's") allows animal shelters to obtain its products at a
significant discount through Hill's Food Shelter and Love program. Program participants receive discounts up to
seventy-four percent (74%) off the list price of Hill's products. On May 8, 2012 (Agenda Item #16D1), the Board
of County Commissioners (Board) previously approved DAS participation in the program. Hill's pet food is
veterinarian recommended and is routinely prescribed to DAS animals who have specialized dietary
requirements. Hill's Prescription Diet food targets a range of health conditions such as urinary care, kidney care,
skin care, and digestive care amongst others.
As part of program participation, Hill's will provide DAS exclusive access to the Hill's Shelter Web Portal which
provides a library of relevant information such as articles, links to important organizations, and other shelter
resources. This will allow DAS to manage and monitor all food and promotional material orders, as well as
submit adopter names and information for all new adopters who have specifically consented to the release of the
information for Hill's exclusive use in providing them with product coupons and information. Each adopter of a
canine or feline from DAS's population will also receive a small bag of Hill's pet food at no cost to the adopter or
Collier County. DAS is required to display Hill's pet food products in its reception/adoption area and include the
logo with a statement that the shelters feed Hill's Science Diet pet foods in relevant publications.
Staff has reached out to surrounding counties and has found both Orange and Pinellas County are members of the
Hill's Food Shelter and Love program. While there are programs that offer shelter food donations and emergency
assistance, currently there are no other agreements that offer long-term significant discounts. The County does
not qualify for a peer program (The Purina Shelter Champion program) which limits grants to shelters that are
within fifty (50) miles of their manufacturing facility.
For reasons stated above, staff is recommending Board approval of an Agreement with Hill's. The Agreement
term will be for a period of three (3) years with two (2) additional one-year renewal options.
Pursuant to Section Eleven, sub -paragraph 10 of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance 2013-69, as amended
by Ordinance 2017-08, staff requests that the Board find that it is in the best interest of the County to purchase dog
and cat food products and pet nutrition education services as a single source vendor. Staff requests authorization to
make these purchases from Hill's FY 2023 thru FY 2025 in a not to exceed the amount of $100,000 per fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for pet food are budgeted annually in the DAS budget Cost Center 155410 within
General Fund (001). The estimated annual expense is $100,000.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for
approval. -RTT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: No Growth Management impacts are associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairman to sign Non -Standard Agreement #22-038-NS
"In -Shelter Pet Food" with Hill's Pet Nutrition Sales, Inc., and approve expenditures made under the agreement in
an amount not -to -exceed $100,000 per fiscal year.

APPENDIX F
HILL'S PET NUTRITION, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
GLOBAL ANTI -BRIBERY POLICY
Our Anti -Bribery Commitment
Hill's Pet Nutrition's ("Hill's") commitment to dealing legally and ethically applies worldwide. We
comply with all applicable anti -bribery laws, including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act ("FCPA"), everywhere we do business, and we expect the same of the third parties with
whom we work. While the FCPA prohibits, among other things, bribery of foreign government officials
and entities, other anti -bribery laws, like the UK Bribery Act, prohibit commercial bribery between
private individuals and entities.
Hill's people and any third parties acting on our behalf or in connection with our business are prohibited
from giving or offering anything of value directly or indirectly to any government official or entity, or to
any private individual or entity, in order to improperly obtain or retain any business advantage or to
improperly affect any act or decision.
This prohibition includes any facilitating, expediting or "grease" payments made to government officials,
either directly or indirectly, in order to expedite any official service or function (for example, small
payments made to an official to move Hill's application to the front of the line or to shorten the time
frame in which services or other actions are provided). Any official fees supported by government -issued
receipts do not qualify as improper payments.
Maintaining Accurate Books and Records
No payment by or on behalf of the Company shall be approved or made if any part of the payment is to be
used for an unlawful or improper purpose, or for any purpose other than that described by valid
documents supporting the payment. No false or misleading entries should be made in any books or
financial records of the Company for any reason.
Any expenses that an employee or third party incurs on Hill's behalf or in connection with our business
shall not be reimbursable unless they are lawful and supported by detailed documentation including, for
example, valid invoices or receipts.
Expenditures Related to Government Officials
No funds may be provided to or spent on behalf of a government official or entity, directly or indirectly,
without advance written approval from Hill's Global Legal Organization. This includes any payments,
gifts, donations, entertainment, travel, meals, or other items of value. (For additional information, please
review the Global Policy on Expenditures Related to Government Officials & Governments.) Advance
approval is not required for official fees supported by government -issued receipts (e.g., permit or license
fees).
Please note that the term "government official" is widely defined and may include individuals who are
employed by any public or state -affiliated institution or organization or who act in an official capacity in
any way, whether full-time, part-time or unpaid. Government officials can be found in every branch and
level of government and public life and may include anyone from low-level customs employees, to
employees of state-owned media outlets, to high-ranking lawmakers, as well as researchers, professors,
teachers, dentists, veterinarians, or other professionals and Key Thought Leaders. If you are in doubt as
to whether an individual could be considered a government official, you should contact Hill's Global
Legal Organization.

16.D.3.a
Commercial Bribery
In addition to prohibiting bribery of government officials, Hill's also prohibits its employees and third
patties from engaging in bribery of private parties. You should not seek to improperly influence the
judgment or conduct of any party with whom you might be conducting Company business by offering or
providing any payments, gifts or other benefits, or by any other unlawful inducement.
Our Expectations
Hill's reputation depends on the conduct of our employees as well as the conduct of those with whom we
do business. It is our goal to ensure that Hill's people and the third parties with whom we work reflect
the same high ethical standards and demonstrate a commitment to compliance with all applicable laws.
We further expect our third parties to ensure that their employees and subcontractors understand and
comply with this Anti -Bribery Policy.
Failure to comply with this Anti -Bribery Policy or any applicable anti -bribery laws, including but not
limited to the FCPA, may result in civil or criminal penalties, as well as termination of the employment or
business relationship.

How was the decision made to use this vendor? Describe in detail if a formal standardization process was performed via
Procurement or if there is a historical precedence established for the use of the product, please explain purchase, and use history and the
current level of County investment in the product.
A thorough review of the market has shown Hill's as the #1 recommended brand by veterinarians. Hill's
has been purchased by DAS in the past with agreements from 2003, 2009, and 2012. Currently DAS
has to obtain quotes for pet food. Approximate spend on pet food at DAS is $75,000, fifteen percent of
that spend is Hill's science diet food that tailor's to various dietary restrictions.
Explain why it is in the County's best interest to use this product/service rather than issuing a competitive solicitation: What are
the benefits from the continued use? Are there costs that would be incurred if a different vendor/product were used? What would occur if
another brand/vendor were used?
The percentage discount offered by Hill's of up to 74% is simply not offered by any other vendor
currently in this market. If other pet branded foods were purchased they would be at the current market
rate with no discount thereby increasing the costs for DAS food supply.
Explain how this pricing compares to other vendors/products and is it considered to be fair and reasonable: Provide information
on historical use and whether pricing has increased/decreased. If sole source and no other product is available, provide the cost for
addressing the needs via an alternate approach.
The exclusive discount provided is not currently being offered by any competitor in the market thereby
providing DAS a substantial savings. Pricing for pet food amongst various brands are similar. What
differentiates Hill's is the significant discount they provide to shelters.
Will this purchase obligate us to future ancillary products or services? Either in terms of maintenance or standardization.

Market research and market alternatives: When was the last time a market evaluation was performed to determine if either the
technology or vendor offerings have changed? Based on the life expectancy of the product, when do you anticipate evaluating the market
again? Please attach a detailed market evaluation report should the complexity, duration, and dollar amount of the purchase be a high risl
to the County.
An evaluation of the market was done in June of this year yielding no other shelter program with any
offers that are similar to Hill's. Hill's has been a supplier for DAS for many years in the past. While there
are many alternative pet food suppliers none of them offer the discount Hill's is providing. Staff plans on
continuing to assess the market on an annual basis and if a better provider becomes available bring
that forward.
It is a felony to knowingly circumvent a competitive process for commodities or services by fraudulently specifying sole
source. Florida Statute 838.22(2).
