Perkinelmer U. S. LLC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is advertising its intent to enter into a single-source agreement with PerkinElmer U.S. LLC for laboratory equipment maintenance, with prospective vendors invited to submit relevant information by June 24, 2026. This is a 15-business-day statutory notice of sole-source intent, not a competitive solicitation.

The scope covers maintenance, support, repairs, parts, supplies, software, and hardware support for PerkinElmer laboratory equipment used by the Division of Agricultural Environmental Services. The systems perform analytical work supporting the division's core mission to safeguard public health and protect the environment by ensuring the quality and safety of feed, seed, fertilizer, and pesticides, as well as supporting licensing, regulatory oversight, and training for pest control and agricultural pesticide applicators.

PerkinElmer U.S. LLC is identified as the sole source because it is the original manufacturer of the equipment and the only known source with the technical expertise required to provide manufacturer-certified maintenance, repair services, training, parts, and supplies specific to these proprietary systems. No third-party vendors are authorized or capable of providing the necessary services due to the specialized and proprietary design of PerkinElmer instruments.

The estimated contract value is approximately $91,000 with an upper limit of $100,000. The contract term extends from the date of execution through June 30, 2027. The procurement was approved by Kelly Friend (Director, Division of Agricultural Environmental Services), Patricia Lucas (Chief, Division of Agricultural Environmental Services), Stephanie Bergozza (Purchasing Director II, Division of Administration), and Joey B. Hicks (Director, Division of Administration).
