Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation (API)

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), specifically the Division of Air Resource Management (DARM), is pursuing a single-source procurement for Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation (API) PM instruments, audit instruments, parts, and services for a 12-month term. This procurement is for specialized air quality monitoring equipment critical to supporting the statewide air monitoring network, including trace-level monitors, particulate matter mass monitors, ozone gas analyzers, and calibration equipment. The procurement is statutorily mandated and advertised from August 25, 2025, with the final date for information receipt being September 16, 2025. The goods and services are essential for meeting federal requirements under 40 CFR Part 58, ensuring air quality data completeness and quality. Teledyne API is being selected as the sole manufacturer capable of providing the precise instruments required, with the procurement focused on enabling the DEP to continue regulating Florida's air resources and implementing environmental protection standards.

This procurement opportunity is explicitly designated as a single-source procurement, which inherently limits competitive bidding and restricts potential vendors. Teledyne API is the exclusive manufacturer of the required instruments and the only authorized service center for repairs and upgrades, which eliminates typical competitive procurement processes. The estimated dollar amount for this acquisition is $375,000, covering the procurement of specialized air monitoring equipment. The vendor provides a standard 2-year warranty and unlimited customer phone support, which are key differentiators in the selection process. The procurement is specifically focused on Leon County but has statewide implications for air quality monitoring. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The contract appears to be structured as a direct procurement with Teledyne API, focusing solely on their proprietary air quality monitoring technology and associated services.
