Agilent Moving Services

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has posted a statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement for an intended single source procurement of moving and relocation services for specialized forensic equipment. This procurement, filed as PUR 7776 and designated FDLE-SS-2646, covers the relocation of Agilent gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and associated forensic analysis equipment from the FDLE Fort Myers Regional Operations Center (FMROC) Laboratory as part of a facility relocation initiative. The primary objective is to ensure the safe de-installation and re-installation of this specialized equipment while maintaining the integrity of forensic analysis procedures and protecting existing equipment warranties and service agreements. Only Agilent Technologies, Inc. has been identified as the sole intended source, as FDLE requires that Agilent-certified individuals perform all work related to these instruments, since Agilent does not certify third-party vendors for this specialized equipment handling and improper installation by unauthorized parties could compromise equipment functionality and forensic casework timelines. The advertisement was posted on April 30, 2026, with a deadline for receipt of vendor information on May 21, 2026. No bidders' meetings, site visits, or formal award dates are specified in the single source notice.

No set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are indicated in this procurement notice. Agilent Technologies, Inc. is identified as both the sole intended source vendor and the incumbent contractor for these specialized relocation services. The estimated contract value for this single source procurement is $56,000.00. Given the specialized nature of the equipment and the certification requirements mandated by the manufacturer, integration with existing Agilent service agreements and warranty protections is a critical component of the procurement strategy. Interested parties or vendors seeking to challenge this single source determination must submit their vendor information by the May 21, 2026 deadline to Carrie LaJeunesse at FDLE's Central Purchasing office in Tallahassee.
