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 Section 943.325 F.S., 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 AB SCIEX Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) instrumentation located at the Orlando Regional Operations Center (OROC) and the Tallahassee Regional Operations Center (TROC) Crime Laboratories. FDLE Crime Laboratories utilize this

SCIEX equipment to process and analyze forensic evidence in order to provide toxicological detection and identification of drugs.

Intended Single Source:

AB SCIEX LLC

1201 Radio Road Redwood City, CA 94065

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$450,000.00

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’s crime labs are required to have validated analyses processed and the current validations are for AB SCIEX equipment. Without this instrumentation being properly maintained, development of procedures to look for multiple drugs at one time would be less than optimal and efficient completion of routine case work would be potentially delayed.

AB SCIEX, LLC provides annual maintenance, repair and support services required for the OROC and TROC Crime Laboratories' mass spectrometers and related equipment. AB SCIEX, LLC is the sole manufacturer of the SCIEX instruments and has not authorized any third-party provider to perform maintenance or repair on the instruments. Therefore, any maintenance, repair and support services are not available from any other source or vendor.

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

Julia Lycett, Chief of General Services Roshale Gaytmenn, Director of Forensic Services

Prospective vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described. If it is determined in writing by the agency, after reviewing any information received from prospective vendors, that the commodities or contractual services are available only from a single source, the agency shall provide notice of its intended decision to enter a single-source purchase contract in the manner specified in Rule 60A- 1.045, Florida Administrative Code, and section 120.57(3), F.S.
