QIAGEN Implements and Equipment

This is a single source procurement by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for the acquisition of laboratory implements and equipment. Pursuant to Florida Statute 943.325, FDLE operates crime laboratories throughout the state and requires the use of the QIASymphony system and QIAgility liquid handling system, which are validated to work with FDLE's existing QIAGEN EZ1 extraction robot. FDLE is seeking to establish a one-year contract from 7/1/24 to 6/30/25 to purchase the necessary QIAGEN supplies and implements, with an estimated total contract value of $1,700,000. FDLE has determined that the required QIAGEN products and services can only be obtained through QIAGEN, LLC due to the agency's prior investment in and validation of the QIAGEN systems, as well as the need for compatibility and continuity with its existing equipment and procedures.

This is a sole source procurement, and FDLE is advertising the intended contract award in compliance with Florida Statutes. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as FDLE has determined that QIAGEN, LLC is the only vendor capable of providing the required products and services. The agency's current infrastructure and technology require integration with the QIAGEN systems, and the budget for this procurement is estimated at $1,700,000.
