About this file

This is a PUR 7776 Single Source Purchase Description filed by the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), Bureau of Communicable Disease, HIV/AIDS Section, in Broward County. The FDOH sought to procure INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 Antibody Tests for a one-year term. These rapid tests can detect HIV antibodies up to nine days earlier than the Western Blot and provide results in 60 seconds, enabling earlier detection, immediate medical care, and transmission prevention. The posting date was June 16, 2026, with a deadline for receipt of information on July 10, 2026, at 10:00 AM. However, this single source procurement was cancelled as of June 18, 2026.

The estimated contract value was $75,000.00 for the one-year term. BioLytical Laboratories Inc. was identified as the intended single source provider, as it is the sole manufacturer and provider of the INSTI HIV-1/HIV-2 Antibody Test and holds the only FDA approval for this rapid test. The justification for single-source acquisition emphasized the unique nature of the product and BioLytical's exclusive position as the manufacturer. The procurement was approved by Sonja German-Jones, Purchasing Director. The contact for the procurement was Yasemin Sulker, located at the FDOH headquarters in Tallahassee.
