Single Source with Thermo Electron North America LLC

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is seeking to contract with Thermo Electron North America LLC for the purchase of maintenance and repair services by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for specialized analytical scientific laboratory instrumentation. The contract term is 12 months, beginning on April 25, 2023 and ending on May 16, 2023. Prospective vendors who believe they can provide these services must submit relevant information no later than May 16, 2023 at 8:00 AM (ET). If the DEP determines that the services are only available from a single source, they will post a notice of their intended decision to enter an agreement with Thermo Electron North America LLC pursuant to Florida Statutes. The estimated dollar amount for the services is $49,353.24. The DEP has determined that OEM service contracts are necessary to ensure critical laboratory equipment is promptly and adequately maintained to carry out the laboratory's mission, and no other vendors are authorized to provide OEM certified repair and maintenance services for this equipment.

As Thermo Electron North America LLC is the sole source equipment manufacturer and service provider for all Thermo Fisher Scientific instruments, parts, training, technical support, field service support, and software, this opportunity is not open to other vendors. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Thermo Electron North America LLC, and the DEP has determined that their existing equipment and technology requires integration with the OEM services being procured.
