About this file

This document is a Description of Intended Single Source Purchase (PUR 7776) from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to obtain Aquatic Preserve (AP) Datasonde Annual Maintenance and purchase of new Pro Digital Sampling System (ProDSS) Handheld with Accessories, EXO2 Sonde, and EXO ISE02 Equipment; including Sondes, Sensors, Solutions, Accessories, and Additional Items. The DEP is seeking to replace failing and obsolete equipment used for its water quality monitoring programs, which are a priority for the Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection. The equipment must be purchased from the sole manufacturer, YSI Incorporated, to maintain the warranty, comply with DEP protocols, and ensure instrument compatibility. The total estimated cost is $238,225.32, with the purchase prices honored through October 28, 2022. Prospective vendors have until October 24, 2022, to provide information about their ability to supply the required commodities or services. If the DEP determines that these services are only available from YSI, it will post a notice of its intended decision to enter into a single-source contract with YSI.

The document provides detailed pricing information for the various sondes, sensors, accessories, and handheld equipment, with a total of 16 line items for Sondes and Sensors, 10 line items for Solutions, 12 line items for Accessories, 12 line items for the Pro Digital Sampling System Handheld, and 2 line items for Handheld Kits, as well as 2 Additional Items. The pricing reflects a 15% discount, and the DEP is the sole purchaser, as YSI considers them a "house account" and will not provide pricing to brokers or agents.

Intended Single Source:

YSI Incorporated

Estimated Dollar Amount:

Estimated $238,225.32

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):

Aquatic preserves (AP) are designated as Outstanding Florida Waters (OFW; 62-302.700 FAC), a designation that confers additional water quality protections, but requires data on water quality status and trends. The AP water quality programs are a priority for the Office of Resilience and Coastal Protection (RCP) and data is used for agency decisions. Annual maintenance of Sondes and sensors are required to maintain equipment in compliance with Department protocols, quality assurance plans and SOPs. To maintain the equipment warranty, equipment maintenance is required to be completed by the manufacturer Xylem-YSI. Equipment to be purchased will replace failing and obsolete equipment. Equipment will be purchased through the manufacturer (Xylem- YSI) with a 3-year manufacturer warranty offered only through Xylem-YSI.

YSI Inc. is a manufacturer of water quality and environmental monitoring sensors, telemetry instrumentation, and related products and services. This letter serves to inform you that YSI is the sole manufacturer and supplier of the line of instruments and sensors known as the “EXO”, (e.g.:

EXO1, EXO2, EXO Handheld). EXO series water quality monitoring devices utilize a unique “smart sensor” design that allows for the reduction in calibration time and in calibration materials.

The EXO platform’s innovative integration of Bluetooth technology also aids in the ease of calibration. Sensors are wet-mateable and extremely durable due to their welded titanium cases.

For quality assurance and to ensure instrument compatibility, it is imperative that this water quality monitoring equipment and replacement supplies be purchased from YSI. Additionally any repairs needed on this equipment must be completed by YSI to prevent voiding the warranty. To find an authorized center in your area go to http://www.ysi.com/product-service.php. YSI considers the Florida DEP a house account and accordingly we would not quote this to brokers or agents of any nature. Consequently in regards to Quote # B213962 , which includes EXO equipment, Pro-Dss Equipment, Maintenance and Repair and accessories, are being sold exclusively thru YSI.
