The Florida Department of Health awarded contract EP558621 to an unnamed prime contractor effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with a total contract value of $900. This blanket purchase agreement provides shipping services for laboratory samples and testing materials on an as-needed basis at state contract pricing rates. The contract encompasses two primary service categories: shipping water and laboratory samples to designated testing facilities, and shipping animal heads for rabies testing along with associated water and laboratory samples to testing laboratories.

The contract also includes miscellaneous express shipping services for other departmental programs as required. The agreement is structured with two line items totaling 900 units at $1 per unit, establishing a framework for the Department of Health to procure shipping services throughout the contract period without requiring individual purchase orders for each shipment. This procurement mechanism enables the state to manage laboratory sample transportation requirements efficiently while maintaining standardized pricing through the existing state contract vehicle.
