The grant supports the purchase of hazardous materials and CBRNE detection and response equipment, specifically including one MX908 Mass Spectrometer Chemical Identifier (item #07CD-01-DPGC) budgeted at $71,500, along with associated maintenance agreements, detector tubes, and related equipment totaling the full award amount. The procurement requires vendors to submit electronic bids through the OpenGov Procurement portal by April 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with public bid opening scheduled for 2:15 PM via Microsoft Teams.

The MX908 Mass Spectrometer comprises the primary equipment expenditure at $71,500, with additional line items including maintenance agreements for related detection equipment, detector tubes, and shipping and handling costs. The County has appropriated approximately $87,485 for this purchase, though this amount may be adjusted based on funding availability. All bids must be firm until award and include applicable sales and use taxes, with payment to be processed according to Chapter 218, Part VII of the Florida Statutes (Local Government Prompt Payment Act).

Vendors must also comply with all federal requirements under 2 C.F.R.
