The Florida Department of Health has awarded a blanket purchase order (Contract No. C768E5) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, for rabies diagnostic testing services to support the Communicable Disease clinic within the Marion County Health Department. The contract carries a total value of $2,466.00 and encompasses two primary testing methodologies: World Health Organization (WHO) screen rabies rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) for rabies neutralizing antibody titer testing at a unit price of $50 per test (46 units budgeted), and End-Point screen testing for rabies at a unit price of $78 per test (2 units budgeted).

The contract additionally includes a specialized service line item for samples not submitted in accordance with specified protocols, which will incur a special handling charge of $5 per sample (2 units budgeted). These diagnostic services will be provided on an as-needed basis to the Marion County Health Department's Communicable Disease clinic. The blanket purchase order structure allows the county health department to procure testing services throughout the contract period without requiring individual purchase authorizations for each test, subject to the quantities and pricing specified in the agreement.
