About this file
This is a Single Source Certificate of Conditions and Circumstances document from the City of Tampa's Water Quality Laboratory, specifically for the David L. Tippin Water Production Plant, seeking to procure filtration and water monitoring products exclusively from IDEXX Laboratories. The document details the intent to purchase IDEXX filtration products for Protozoan analysis, Total Coliform, and E. Coli analysis, including TECTA Water Monitoring Products, with a 12-month cost estimate of $90,000. The accompanying letter from IDEXX confirms their status as the sole manufacturer and supplier of these specialized water testing products in the U.S. and Canadian water testing markets.
The single source justification is based on IDEXX being the exclusive provider of numerous critical water testing reagents, kits, and equipment, including Colilert reagents, Quanti-Tray systems, IDEXX Vessels, and various specialized testing products for utility, public health, and private environmental laboratories. IDEXX Distribution, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., is identified as the sole supplier, with a comprehensive list of products that are unique in the market. The document indicates that the TECTA Water Monitoring solution is the only automated microbial detection system approved by the EPA for drinking water testing, further supporting the single source procurement approach.
