Vaisala, Inc

The Florida Department of Health (DOH), specifically the Bureau of Public Health Laboratories (BPHL), is seeking a single-source procurement for service and calibration of Vaisala RFL100 and RFL100T laboratory monitoring devices located in Leon County. This procurement is designed to maintain measurement accuracy and instrument reliability for devices that track temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels in BPHL laboratories. The procurement is being processed under Chapter 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code, with a specific focus on obtaining specialized maintenance services directly from Vaisala, Inc. The procurement period is set for a three-year term, with key dates including a posting date of March 27, 2025, and a final response deadline of April 17, 2025. Prospective vendors are invited to provide information about their service capabilities, though the documentation strongly suggests Vaisala is the expected and likely sole qualified vendor for these specific devices.

While the procurement appears to be a direct single-source acquisition, no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are explicitly outlined in the documentation. The estimated dollar value for this procurement is $166,500.00, covering the comprehensive service and calibration needs for the RFL100 and RFL100T devices. Vaisala, Inc. is identified as holding exclusive rights to all maintenance, services, and calibration required to ensure the continuity and reliability of these specialized laboratory instruments. The procurement is being overseen by purchasing director Allegra Small, who has approved the request for this targeted acquisition. The procurement is focused exclusively on maintaining existing Vaisala laboratory monitoring equipment, with no indication of competitive bidding or alternative vendor considerations.
