Agilent technologies

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is conducting a single source procurement for the purchase of an Agilent 7010 EI/MS/MS mass spectrometer for $274,185.47. The equipment will support the Division of Food Safety regulatory program and the USDA Pesticide Data Program. The justification for the single source selection cites the need for compatibility with the agency's existing Agilent Mass Hunter software, methods, and reporting, as well as the unique self-cleaning feature of the Agilent ion source. This is not a request for bid or proposal, but rather the statutory advertisement of the intended single source procurement. The total estimated value of the purchase is up to $300,000, and information from prospective vendors is requested by January 27, 2023.

This single source procurement is limited to Agilent Technologies as the sole source provider for the required equipment. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent or contractor is not specified, and there is no mention of any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The award value is listed as up to $300,000.
