Notice of intent to designate single source for environmental express

Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division has issued a Notice of Intent to Designate Single Source for Environmental Express, focusing on procurement of laboratory consumables, custom standards, replacement parts, and repair services for environmental sample testing equipment. The procurement covers specific items including custom elemental blends, Ultimate Cups, HotBlock equipment, filters, and laboratory supplies with detailed product codes such as HPS-3951-012-100, UC475-GN, and SC100/SC154. The procurement period spans from October 23, 2025, to September 30, 2028, with a submission deadline of November 13, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The solicitation requires respondents to submit potential alternative sources through the Collier County Procurement Services Division Online Bidding System, with the Division retaining sole discretion in evaluating proposed alternatives. This procurement is explicitly not an invitation to bid or quote, and respondents are instructed not to provide pricing information.

The procurement appears to be a single-source designation specifically for products manufactured by Antylia Scientific Company and distributed through Environmental Express, with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. Respondents can contest the single source designation by providing documentation demonstrating alternative qualified sources, though the procurement documents do not specify specific qualifications or restrictions on responding organizations. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement is specifically targeted at laboratory equipment and consumables for environmental sample testing, suggesting a specialized technical requirement that limits potential respondents. The notice emphasizes that no action is required from stakeholders who agree with the proposed single source designation, but provides a mechanism for challenging the designation through documented alternative source proposals.
