About this opportunity
The Mississippi State Department of Health is issuing a sole-source notice for laboratory reagents and collection devices for the Mississippi Public Health Laboratory Environmental Microbiology Section, with objections to the sole-source designation due August 24, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CST.
The procurement covers eight product line items from Idexx Laboratories, Inc., including Colilert and Colisure reagents, collection vessels, sterile water, and Quanti-Tray disposables. These products are EPA and FDA-approved for presence/absence testing of total coliform and E. coli in drinking water and dairy water. The department asserts that no other reagents are EPA and FDA-cleared for these specific tests and that Idexx Laboratories is the sole supplier and distributor of these products.
The estimated annual cost is $338,861.98, with individual item prices ranging from $59.35 to $773.36 per kit. Quantities vary by line item, ranging from one to 480 units per kit package. All applicable discounts have been applied, and shipping costs are included in the total.
Any entity objecting to the sole-source designation must submit written documentation to the Mississippi State Department of Health Purchasing Department with detailed explanations and supporting evidence. If alternative sources are deemed viable, the procurement will be converted to a competitive bid process. If no viable alternatives are identified, the matter may be appealed to the Public Procurement Review Board.
