About this opportunity
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is announcing a single-source procurement intent for laboratory and scientific equipment, software, and consumables from Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., with a statutory notice period ending October 9, 2026. This is a sole-source acquisition — Bio-Rad is the original manufacturer and exclusive supplier of the specified QX700E Droplet Digital PCR System, and the justification explicitly states no alternative supplier can provide an equivalent system or compatible components.
The Division of Plant Industry seeks one Bio-Rad QX700E Droplet Digital PCR System, including the instrument, QX700 ddPCR System Analysis Software and Control Software, and related consumables and accessories. The system must support high-resolution, seven-color multiplex droplet digital PCR applications for environmental DNA detection of pests — the proprietary microfluidic emulsion partitioning technology is the decision-flipping factor.
The estimated contract amount is $56,829.02, with an approximate contract amount cap of $60,000. The contract term ends June 30, 2027. Place of performance is Leon County, Florida (the Division of Plant Industry's location).
Prospective vendors who believe they can provide equivalent commodities or services must submit relevant information by October 9, 2026. The statutory 15-business-day notice period allows vendors to present alternatives before execution, though the sole-source justification strongly indicates award to Bio-Rad.
