Oxygen Generating System

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) to obtain competitive prices for an oxygen generating system for the Highlands County Health Department. The ITB seeks a self-contained, turnkey oxygen generating system capable of producing 93% or higher oxygen concentration and filling 15 M-size cylinders per day at 2,200 psig, running on single-phase electrical power. The successful bidder will be responsible for delivering, installing, and providing on-site training for DOH staff on the system operation. Bids are due by March 22, 2023, and a single award will be made to the responsive, responsible bidder offering the lowest total price including delivery, installation, training, and FOB destination. A non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for February 21, 2023, and the contract term is anticipated to be one year from March 1, 2023 or the contract execution date, whichever is later.

The ITB is open to vendors across the state, with the primary jurisdictions being Leon County and the City of Tallahassee. The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No information is provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the ITB does not specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The ITB does not include any listed award values or budget ranges, but the pricing for the oxygen generating system must be all-inclusive with no additional costs charged to the DOH.
