Malvern Panalytical - X-Ray Flourence (XRF) Service Agreement

The Florida Department of Transportation is posting a single-source procurement notice for a one-year X-ray fluorescence equipment service agreement with Malvern Panalytical, Inc., with submissions due October 27, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement under Florida Statutes Section 287.057(5), posted for the required 15 business days; Malvern Panalytical holds exclusive authorization to service the Zetium equipment and proprietary software.

The scope covers maintenance of XRF equipment used by the State Materials Office to analyze cementitious materials, construction-source samples, proficiency materials, and highway construction and traffic control materials, including forensic analysis. The XRF method is the approved methodology under FDOT's AASHTO accreditation requirements. The service agreement must provide 48-hour on-site response during normal business hours, spare parts coverage (excluding consumables, tubes, and x-ray detectors), unlimited corrective maintenance calls, phone support, labor and travel during regular business hours, two preventative maintenance calls per year, and remote support for hardware, software, and applications.

The estimated contract value is $39,711 for the one-year term. Malvern Panalytical is identified as the sole intended source because it is the only authorized vendor holding exclusive rights to proprietary software and application support necessary for identifying and correcting equipment issues. The contract is administered by the Department of Transportation procurement office (contact: Destyne Grayson); the requestor is Melanie Sowers of the State Materials Office.
