The Florida Department of Health awarded a contract (C670FE) on November 5, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2026, for the procurement of various microbiological laboratory media and agar products. The contract, valued at $1,978.22, includes seven line items comprising different types of specialized laboratory culture media such as Blood Agar, Chocolate Agar, MacConkey Agar, XLD Agar, Hektoen Enteric HE Agar, BCYE Agar, and Mueller Hinton II Agar, with quantities ranging from 1 to 6 units per product type.

The line items demonstrate a comprehensive acquisition of microbiology research and diagnostic testing supplies, with unit prices ranging from $50.35 to $185.06 per case or package. Each agar type serves specific microbiological testing purposes, suggesting the Department of Health's intent to maintain robust laboratory capabilities for medical diagnostics, research, or public health surveillance. The contract's relatively short performance period of approximately eight months indicates a targeted, specific procurement to support the state's healthcare infrastructure and laboratory operations.
