Qiagen supplies and maintenance service agreement

The Florida Department of Health (DOH), specifically the Bureau of Public Health Laboratories (BPHL), is pursuing a single source procurement for Qiagen instrument supplies and maintenance services. The contract opportunity, tracked internally as EXP2649, seeks to acquire reagents, kits, supplies, and preventative maintenance for laboratory instruments used in critical testing processes, including DNA and RNA extractions, bioterrorism threat agent detection, blood collection, tuberculosis, and microbiology testing. The procurement is targeted for DOH BPHL facilities across the state, with a specific focus on Leon County. The solicitation was posted on November 14, 2025, with responses due by December 9, 2025, at 3:30 PM, providing a 15 business day response period. Primary contact for this opportunity is Yasemin Sulker, who can be reached at 850-245-4931 or Yasemin.Sulker@flhealth.gov. The procurement will follow guidelines under Chapter 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code and is structured as a three-year contract.

This procurement is specifically targeted as a single source acquisition from Qiagen, LLC, which is identified as the exclusive authorized service provider for existing Roche laboratory instruments within DOH BPHL facilities. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the documentation. The estimated contract value is $525,000.00, covering supplies and maintenance services for specialized laboratory equipment. The justification for single source procurement is predicated on the existing Qiagen instrument systems already deployed across DOH facilities, which necessitates Qiagen as the sole compatible supplier for these specific instruments. The procurement was approved by Allegra Small, the Purchasing Director, and the solicitation invites prospective vendors to provide information about their capability to supply similar commodities, though the DOH has preliminarily determined Qiagen as the only viable source. The contract will support critical public health testing infrastructure across Florida's laboratory network.
