Forensic Genetic Genealogy

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting a single source procurement for DNA genetic genealogy, DNA phenotyping, and kinship inference analysis services from Parabon NanoLabs, Inc. to assist with forensic investigations and solving cold cases in the state of Florida. The FDLE is the sole requester, and Parabon NanoLabs, Inc. is identified as the intended single source provider, as they are the creator and sole authorized provider of the Snapshot Advance DNA Analysis Service. The services are required for the period of 11/15/2022 - 11/14/2023 with an estimated dollar amount of $80,000. The justification for the single source procurement is that Parabon NanoLabs, Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing the complete suite of Snapshot DNA Services, including mixture deconvolution, genetic genealogy, phenotyping, and kinship analysis.

This is not a request for bid or proposal, but rather a statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement of the intended single source procurement. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a sole source procurement. The incumbent vendor is Parabon NanoLabs, Inc., and the current budget for the services is estimated at $80,000 for the one-year period.
