Cannabis Testing Laboratory Information System (LIMS)

This Invitation to Bid (ITB) is being issued by the Florida Department of Health (Department) to obtain competitive prices for a cannabis-specific Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to support medical marijuana testing. The LIMS solution must include user licenses and services for software configuration, instrumentation integration, and training. The Department seeks a cloud-hosted LIMS that can integrate with the required testing instrumentation, with maintenance, backup, and redundancy services included. The contract term will be for an initial one-year period with the possibility of up to three one-year renewals. Respondents must meet mandatory requirements related to experience, certifications, non-collusion, scrutinized companies, and background screening. The basis of award will be the responsive, responsible Respondent offering the lowest grand total, including delivery, training, and FOB destination. Modifications to the LIMS will be requested as needed and priced separately based on an hourly rate.

The ITB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that requires integration. The ITB also does not list any award values or budget ranges, though the Department reserves the right to not make an award. Previous addenda have modified the timeline, including the bid due date of October 11, 2022 and the anticipated posting of the intent to award on October 18, 2022.
