This Intent to Single Source (ISS) document issued by the City of Tampa, Florida, for the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility Water Quality Laboratory seeks authorization to procure IDEXX filtration products and related water testing equipment. The procurement encompasses three primary product categories: IDEXX Filta-Max filtration equipment for Protozoan parasites analysis under EPA 1623 regulations, IDEXX Quanti-Tray systems for raw water testing with Colilert applications, and TECTA Water Monitoring solutions for E. Coli and Total Coliform testing. The ISS was posted on April 9, 2026, with a vendor response deadline of April 15, 2026. No specific contract term, renewal options, award date, or site visit requirements are identified in the available documentation.

The single source justification is based on exclusive manufacturing and regulatory approval requirements: the IDEXX Filta-Max is the only filtration product approved by the EPA for Protozoan parasites analysis, the Quanti-Tray is produced exclusively by IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., and TECTA Water Monitoring (acquired by IDEXX) is the only EPA-approved automated microbial detection system for drinking water applications. IDEXX Laboratories, Inc. is identified as the incumbent and sole source vendor for all three product categories. Interested vendors must submit documentation confirming authorization to provide the specified products. No pricing information, contract value, budget range, set-aside designations, or evaluation criteria beyond vendor authorization status are disclosed in the posted documentation.
