About this opportunity
The Florida Department of Health's Bureau of Public Health Laboratories (BPHL) is seeking to procure a single-source procurement of one QIAcube Connect MDx SYS-FUL-1 instrument from QIAGEN, with the solicitation posted on April 24, 2025, and responses due by May 15, 2025. This benchtop instrument will be utilized for automated testing of wastewater samples to support Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) arbovirus and respiratory testing and surveillance efforts. The primary objective is to enhance the state's capability to detect emerging infectious pathogens, identify early outbreak trends, and provide comprehensive public health surveillance data. The instrument uses nanoplate microfluidic technology to perform fully automated nucleic acid absolute quantification, enabling rapid and high-precision extraction platform setup. Specifically, the procurement aims to expand laboratory capacity and provide redundancy for existing equipment in Leon County, Florida, with a focus on improving infectious disease monitoring and prevention strategies.
The procurement appears to be a direct, single-source acquisition with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on potential respondents. QIAGEN is identified as the sole manufacturer and distributor of the specific QIAcube Connect MDx SYS-FUL-1 instrument, which eliminates competitive bidding in this instance. The estimated dollar value for this acquisition is $38,405.55, representing a targeted, specific purchase to support public health laboratory infrastructure. No incumbent vendors are mentioned beyond QIAGEN, and the solicitation does not indicate specific integration requirements with existing technology infrastructure. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with Chapter 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code, suggesting adherence to state procurement regulations. The instrument will be used to support critical public health surveillance activities, with a focus on early detection of infectious disease trends and potential outbreaks.
