AB Sciex, LLC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is seeking to procure a Sciex 7500 LC/MS/MS mass spectrometer from AB SCIEX LLC through a single-source procurement. The mass spectrometer is required to support the Division of Food Safety's Bureau of Laboratories in conducting regulatory testing on fruits, vegetables, and hemp, as well as specialized analysis on a variety of food products sold or produced in the state. The Department has justified this as a single-source procurement due to the unique specifications and compatibility requirements of the Sciex 7500 instrument. The estimated contract amount for this procurement is up to $492,586.72. The Department has posted this advertisement as mandated by Florida Statutes, and is requesting that any prospective vendors who believe they can provide the required commodities or services provide relevant information to the contact person by April 4, 2024. If it is determined that the commodities or services are only available from a single source, the Department will post a notice of its intended decision to enter into an agreement with AB SCIEX LLC on the Vendor Information Portal.

This procurement is not subject to any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Department has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this requirement, and there are no specific requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The contract award value is estimated to be up to $492,586.72, subject to the Department's determination that AB SCIEX LLC is the sole source for the required commodities and services.
