The procurement seeks to acquire Colilert and Enterolert reagents from IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. for performing amplified testing of Coliform and E. Coli in drinking and environmental water as part of the Healthy Beach Program. The solicitation is open from April 17, 2025, to May 8, 2025, with a contract term of one year and an estimated total value of $70,000.00. The procurement will utilize a Quanti-Tray sealer (Serial No QT13220601363) and requires reagents that meet Standard Method 23rd edition lab analysis 9223B.
IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. is positioned as the sole source provider, being the only certified manufacturer and distributor of the required reagents. The justification for single-source procurement emphasizes that IDEXX is the exclusive certified provider for the specific lab analysis method and the sole manufacturer of the necessary supplies. The document allows for alternative vendors to demonstrate equivalent capabilities, but if no alternative is found, the contract will be awarded to IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. The procurement is specifically tailored to the Healthy Beach Program's water testing requirements, with the primary evaluation criteria focusing on the vendor's ability to supply reagents that meet the precise technical specifications for coliform and E. Coli testing.
