About this opportunity

Sarasota County, Florida intends to award a sole source contract to Thermo Environmental Instruments, LLC for as-needed maintenance and repair of specified Thermo Scientific air-quality monitoring instruments under solicitation 2026-ISS-877, with responses due November 17, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. The procurement is restricted to the sole source vendor, and the County will not consider responses from vendors not authorized by Thermo Fisher Scientific to sell these products and services.

The covered equipment is the Thermo Scientific 1405 TEOM Continuous Ambient Particulate Monitor, the 49i and 49iQ Ozone Analyzers, and the 49i-PS and 49iQ Ozone Primary Standards. Thermo Fisher's sole source letter, dated September 29, 2026, identifies Thermo Environmental as the sole authorized original equipment manufacturer service provider in the United States for these five products. The County's justification rests on the need for proprietary software, specifications, calibration files, algorithms, and manufacturer-designed specialty tooling. The County may cancel the sole source and advertise a competitive solicitation if respondents demonstrate the ability to supply the same or substantially similar services, at its sole discretion.

Vendors must submit electronically through the OpenGov portal at procurement.opengov.com/portal/scgov, complete the Intent to Sole Source Response form, and comply with Sarasota County's General Terms and Conditions of Purchase Orders. Those terms require E-Verify employment eligibility verification, compliance with Florida cybersecurity and terrorist organization screening statutes, and payment processing through the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Questions are due November 16, 2026. Jissel Shoemaker, Procurement and Contracts Specialist, manages project and procurement matters at jshoemak@scgov.net or (941) 861-5340, and Spencer Kahn, Contracts Manager for the Chemical Analysis Division, handles inquiries on the sole source letter.
