Blanket purchase order to cover the cost of rabies antibody testing rapid fluorescent focus…

The Florida Department of Health has awarded a blanket purchase order valued at $2,000.00 for rabies antibody testing services. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and covers up to 2,000 rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) screens. The pricing structure includes $50.00 per endpoint testing and $78.00 per human or animal testing procedure. This blanket purchase order mechanism allows the Department to access rabies antibody testing services on an as-needed basis throughout the contract performance period.

The contract supports the Department of Health's diagnostic and surveillance capabilities for rabies virus exposure assessment in both human and animal populations. By establishing a pre-priced blanket purchase order for RFFIT screening services, the Department ensures timely access to critical laboratory testing resources needed for rabies post-exposure evaluation and animal testing protocols. The specific unit pricing structure reflects differentiation between endpoint testing procedures and human or animal specimen analysis, providing flexibility in meeting varying diagnostic requirements throughout the contract term.
