This description of commodities or contractual services intended for purchase from a single source is posted in accordance with Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3), Florida Statutes (F.S.), and will remain posted for a period of at least 15 business days.

Commodity or Contractual Service Required (commodity or United National Standard Products and Services Code (UNSPSC), manufacturer, model, and description, as appropriate):

78101804: Relocation services

Quantity or Term (as appropriate):

One time purchase

Requestor (division, bureau, office, individual, as appropriate):

FDLE/Investigations and Forensic Services/Orlando Regional Operations Center (OROC) Laboratory

Performance and/or Design Requirements (e.g. intended use, function or application, compatibility, requirements; reference to policy, rule, statute or other act of the Legislature, etc., as appropriate):

Pursuant to s. 943.325 Florida Statutes, the FDLE Regional Operations Centers throughout the state operate crime laboratories with the specific mission of investigating high profile criminal case work. To accomplish this, FDLE must utilize specific equipment and implements in the analysis of crime-related specimens.

FDLE currently owns Agilent gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and related equipment used for the analysis of forensic evidence.

The FDLE OROC crime laboratory is in the process or relocating and must move Agilent equipment to accomplish the relocation.

Intended Single Source:

Agilent Technologies, Inc.

2850 Centerville Road Wilmington, Delaware 19808-1610

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$65,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

FDLE must move the aforementioned instruments in a manner that protects the integrity of the equipment and ensures proper procedures are used during the de-installation and re-installation processes. Mishandling of the instruments during the moving process could result in less than optimal and inefficient development of procedures to analyze forensic evidence as well as a delay in routine casework.

The relocation services must be completed by Agilent to ensure Agilent certified individuals de-install and re-install the FDLE owned equipment. Agilent does not currently certify any third party vendors to de-install or re-install the equipment. Furthermore, FDLE's Agilent equipment is currently under a service agreement with Agilent and damages caused by a third party vendor would void FDLE's warranty and would not be covered under FDLE's current service agreement.

Damages incurred during de-installation, re-installation, and transport by a third party may make the instruments ineligible for future service through Agilent.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):

Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services Jason Bundy, Director of Forensic Services

Prospective vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described.
