About this file
This is a sole source letter from IDEXX Distribution, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., confirming the company's status as the sole manufacturer and sole supplier of water testing products and equipment in the United States and Canadian water testing markets. The letter documents that IDEXX Distribution, Inc. (FEIN # 35-2186625) is the exclusive supplier of 39 distinct product lines and equipment types for utility, public health, and private laboratories performing environmental testing. These products include reagents (Colilert, Colisure, Enterolert, Pseudalert, Legiolert), testing equipment (Quanti-Tray Sealer PLUS, SimPlate kits, Tecta automated testing devices), filter modules (Filta-Max series), quality control kits, and related accessories and services. The letter is dated October 1, 2026, establishing IDEXX's exclusive supplier status as of that date.
The sole source letter serves as documentation supporting a procurement justification, establishing that IDEXX Distribution, Inc. is the only available source for the specified water testing products and equipment due to proprietary design, patent protection, and regulatory approvals such as EPA certification for the Tecta B42 automated presence/absence testing device. The letter notes that certain service offerings, including Tecta Service PLUS coverage with preventative maintenance and instrument configuration, are available exclusively through IDEXX and cannot be obtained from alternative vendors. This sole source designation eliminates the requirement for competitive bidding and permits direct procurement from the identified supplier.
