Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation (Teledyne API)

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Air Resource Management (DARM) is pursuing a single-source procurement for Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation (Teledyne API) equipment, repairs, and spare parts for the state's Statewide Air Monitoring Network. This procurement specifically targets specialized air quality monitoring instruments, including the Teledyne API Model T100U SO2 Analyzer, T200U NO/NOx Analyzer, T300U CO Analyzer, and T640/T640X Particulate Matter Analyzers. The procurement is critical for maintaining federal air quality monitoring requirements under 40 CFR Part 58, with the primary objective of ensuring operational readiness of Florida's air monitoring network. The contract is structured for a 12-month term, with a posted date of March 13, 2025, and a response deadline of April 3, 2025. Teledyne API is identified as the sole manufacturer and authorized service center for these precise monitoring instruments, with key deliverables including the equipment itself, manufacturer repairs, and spare parts necessary for trace-level monitoring at NCore sites. The procurement requires compliance with EPA method requirements and includes a standard 2-year warranty with unlimited customer phone support.

This procurement is a non-competitive, single-source procurement specifically limited to Teledyne API, located in San Diego, California. No alternative vendors or resellers are considered acceptable for these specialized monitoring instruments. The estimated contract value is $70,000, covering equipment, repairs, and spare parts for the state's air monitoring infrastructure. There are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The procurement is uniquely focused on maintaining the operational capability of Florida's statewide air monitoring network, with no provisions for alternative technology integration or vendor substitution. Without access to these specific Teledyne API instruments, back-up equipment, spare parts, and manufacturer repairs, the DARM would be unable to maintain the required operational readiness of its air monitoring network. The procurement represents a critical investment in maintaining environmental monitoring capabilities essential for tracking air quality across Leon County and the state of Florida.
