Section 570.50, Florida Statutes Division of Food Safety; powers and duties. The duties of the Division of Food Safety include, but are not limited to : (1) Enforcing those provisions of chapter 585, and the rules adopted under that chapter, relating to the inspection of meat and the antemortem and postmortem inspection.

Intended Single Source:

Mesa Laboratories, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount:

Approximate Amount: Up to $200,000.00

Approximate Contract Amount: $109,945.55

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 Division of Food Safety currently has a license for the latest version of the ViewPoint temperature monitoring software by Mesa Labs. This purchase will replace the aging, obsolete ViewPoint hardware that has begun to fail in labs 9 and 10. This purchase will also add ViewPoint hardware to lab which, does not currently have a temperature monitoring system.

This purchase will replace the Smart-Vue temperature monitoring system in labs 3 and 4.

The ViewPoint hardware is only compatible with the ViewPoint temperature monitoring system.

Purchasing an equivalent system from another vendor would require the purchase of both the hardware and the software license. By using the ViewPoint hardware, we avoid the additional expense of purchasing a software license.

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

Michael Thompson, Environmental Administrator, Division of Food Safety Tracey Hughes, Manager, Computer Information Systems, Division of Food Safety Dr. Matthew Curran, Director, Division of Food Safety Stephanie Bergozza, Purchasing Director II, Division of Administration Joey B. Hicks, Director, Division of Administration
