EDAX Maintenance

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is seeking to procure maintenance services for three spectrometer systems - the Octane Elect Plus Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and the Orbis X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometer systems. These systems are used by FDLE's Orlando Regional Operations Center crime laboratory to analyze trace evidence in support of state and local law enforcement agencies. This is a single-source procurement, as EDAX, Inc. is identified as the sole authorized provider to maintain and support these proprietary systems. The estimated value of the contract is $71,000 for the period of March 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024. Prospective vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the required services by the deadline of January 30, 2023, after which FDLE will make a determination whether to proceed with the single-source procurement.

This opportunity is not a request for bid or proposal, but rather a statutorily mandated fifteen-business-day advertisement of FDLE's intended single-source procurement. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor is EDAX, Inc., and the procurement requires integration with the existing spectrometer systems. The total budget for this contract is estimated to be $71,000.
