Revvity Victor Nivo

The Florida Department of Health's Bureau of Public Health Laboratories (BPHL) is seeking to procure a Revvity Victor Nivo Plate Reader along with associated reagent consumables, supplies, and support services through a single-source purchase agreement. This procurement is designated for use in the BPHL's Bioterrorism and Virology laboratories and is essential for performing critical biochemical and cell-based assays, including DNA/protein quantitation and detection of absorbance, luminescence, and fluorescence. The intended vendor is Revvity Health Sciences, Inc., identified as the sole manufacturer and distributor of the Victor Nivo Plate Reader and its associated products. The procurement has been justified on the basis that the Victor Nivo Plate Reader is the only platform approved by BPHL for Laboratory Response Network (LRN) assays used in identifying biological and chemical threats, and that maintaining continuity of service with the Department's current equipment and supplier is in the Department's best interest. The posting date for this opportunity is April 8, 2026, with a deadline for receipt of information from prospective vendors on April 29, 2026, at 3:30 PM. The procurement is authorized under Chapter 60A-1.045, Florida Administrative Code, and no bidder's conference, site visit, or award date has been specified. Prospective vendors are permitted to submit information regarding their ability to supply the described commodities or services; however, if the agency determines in writing that the items are available only from a single source, it will proceed with the single-source contract as proposed.

The estimated contract value for this single-source purchase is $43,167.61 for a one-year term. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond have been noted in the available documentation. The incumbent vendor is Revvity Health Sciences, Inc., which currently supplies the Victor Nivo Plate Reader and associated products to the BPHL. The requirement for integration with existing infrastructure is implicit in the justification for single-source procurement, as the Victor Nivo Plate Reader represents the established platform within the BPHL's Bioterrorism and Virology laboratories and is the only instrument approved for LRN assays. The procurement was approved by Sonja German, Purchasing Director, and prospective vendors may challenge the single-source designation by submitting information to the agency by the April 29, 2026 deadline.
