Oxygen Generating System

The State of Florida, Department of Health is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) to obtain competitive prices for an oxygen generating system for the St. Johns County Health Department. The successful bidder will be required to provide, deliver, install, and train staff on the operation of the oxygen generating system. The system must be capable of producing oxygen concentration of 93% or higher, filling 15 M-size cylinders per day at 2,200 psig, and running on single-phase electrical power. The ITB includes a detailed scope of work with specific requirements for the system's capabilities, as well as provisions related to public records, records retention, insurance, and indemnification. A mandatory site visit is scheduled, and bids are due on March 23, 2023. The Department will make a single award to the responsive, responsible bidder offering the lowest total price for the requested commodities and services, including delivery, installation, training, and FOB destination. The contract term is anticipated to be one year from March 1, 2023, or the contract execution date, whichever is later.

The ITB provides preference opportunities for certified minority, women, and Florida veteran businesses. Funding for this project is contingent upon annual appropriation by the Florida Legislature and satisfactory performance by the successful bidder. No additional pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or budget ranges are provided in the available documentation. However, the ITB does indicate that failure to file a protest within the prescribed time or post the required bond will constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of the Florida Statutes.
