Life Technologies Corporation Implements, Software and Maintenance

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is seeking to procure implements, software, and maintenance from Life Technologies Corporation for its crime laboratories throughout the state. The products and services are required to support the agency's specific mission of investigating high-profile criminal cases through Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based DNA analysis. The contract term is for one year, from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and FDLE will place multiple orders during this period. FDLE has justified this as a single-source procurement due to the proprietary and validated nature of the equipment, software, and reagents, which can only be serviced and maintained by Life Technologies Corporation. The estimated dollar amount of this procurement is $6,200,000. FDLE has validated the use of Life Technologies' products and services, and there is no other available competition for the required items. This is not a request for bid or proposal, but rather a statutorily mandated 15-business-day advertisement of the intended single-source procurement.

This procurement is limited to Life Technologies Corporation as the sole-source provider. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Life Technologies Corporation is the incumbent vendor, and the products and services being procured are required to integrate with FDLE's existing infrastructure and technology. The estimated value of the contract is $6,200,000.
