Pursuant to s. 943.325 Florida Statute, 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 implements and software in the PCR-based DNA analysis of crime-related specimens.

FDLE Seized Drugs Disciplines utilize Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometers (GC/MS) as the core instrumentation in the analysis of suspected controlled substances. Identification of controlled substances is accomplished on these instruments with the aid of electronic massspectral libraries. These libraries are compatible with software currently utilized on FDLE criminal analysis laboratory system instruments.

Mass spectral libraries are updated frequently to include new compounds as they are created and encountered. These updates are critical to the Seized Drug discipline in the identification of novel psychoactive substances and emerging synthetic drugs, as well as maintaining current drug databases and capabilities.

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):

The FDLE is renewing two (2) different drug libraries that are currently utilized in the Seized Drug forensic discipline of FDLE’s five (5) regional Forensic Labs located in Ft. Myers, Jacksonville, Orlando, Pensacola and Tampa. The two (2) different drug libraries, National Institute of Standards and Technology/Environmental Protection Agency/National Institutes of Health (NIST/EPA/NIH) Mass Spectral Library and Mass Spectra of Designer Drugs, assist the Seized Drug forensic disciplines in maintaining their drug databases for Mass Spectra of Designer Drugs.

The function of the NIST is to produce the Nation’s Standard Reference Data (SRD). This data is assessed by experts and are trustworthy such that people can use the data with confidence and base significant decisions on the data. SRD must be compliant with rigorous critical evaluation criteria. The reference to NIST means that the standards data in the library complies with standards and rigorous critical evaluation criteria established by referenced organizations.

John Wiley and Sons is the exclusive publisher and the only known provider of the aforementioned database libraries.
