PAC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is seeking to procure a single unit of the OptiPMD instrumentation from PAC, the sole provider of this equipment in the United States. The OptiPMD can perform the ASTM D7345-17 micro distillation method for determining the distillation temperatures of automotive spark-ignition engine fuel, which is an accepted method for fuel quality testing under the state's regulations. The agency has justified this as a single-source acquisition due to PAC's exclusive distribution rights and the unique capabilities of the OptiPMD that meet the agency's requirements. The estimated contract value is up to $94,000, with an estimated total of $51,798.32. The procurement opportunity will remain active for at least 15 business days, during which prospective vendors can provide information regarding their ability to supply the required commodities or services.

No set-asides or special requirements are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement is being funded by the agency, and there are no indications of any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The agency has not specified any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
