Mindray Animal Medical Technology North America, Co. , LTD

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is publishing a 15-business-day advertisement of its intent to enter into a single-source agreement with Mindray Animal Medical Technology North America, Co., LTD for preventive laboratory equipment maintenance and supplies, with prospective vendors invited to submit relevant information by June 30, 2026.

This is a sole-source procurement justified on the grounds that Mindray is the manufacturer of the equipment and the exclusive provider of required reagents, supplies, and technical expertise. No alternative sources possess the technical knowledge to maintain and support the specialized laboratory equipment or provide the proprietary consumables necessary for operation.

The scope covers maintenance, repairs, parts, supplies, software licensing, hardware support, training, and technical support for Mindray Animal Medical Technologies equipment used by the Bronson Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in Kissimmee — specifically the Mindray Respons 910VET and EXIAS e|1 ISE units. This equipment supports clinical pathology services, chemistry analysis, and reagent processing to fulfill the division's statutory responsibilities in animal disease control and emergency response.

The estimated contract amount is approximately $41,850 with a maximum cap of $50,000. The contract term runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Prospective vendors who believe they can provide these commodities or contractual services should contact Edward Rondeau, Procurement Officer, at (850) 617-7181 or Procurement@FDACS.gov, or submit relevant information by the June 30 deadline.
