FY 20-21 Broward County Office Crime Lab

The Florida Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) established under Section 943.35 Florida Statutes creates a comprehensive statewide criminal analysis laboratory system encompassing the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) laboratories and five locally-funded laboratories across Broward, Indian River, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Pinellas Counties. This master agreement enables law enforcement agencies to access a wide range of forensic services, including biology/DNA analysis, chemistry, crime scene investigation, digital evidence examination, firearms analysis, latent print processing, toxicology, and trace evidence evaluation.

The master agreement, awarded to the City of Tallahassee Police Department, was initiated by the Department of Law Enforcement with a contract period from October 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021. As a master agreement contract type, this IDV covers the state of Florida and provides a structured mechanism for forensic laboratory service procurement across multiple jurisdictions. While specific contract value details are not provided in the available documentation, the IDV represents a critical infrastructure for supporting forensic analysis and criminal investigation capabilities throughout the state's law enforcement ecosystem.
