Agilent Moving Services

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued a public notice of its intended decision to award a single source contract to Agilent Technologies, Inc. for the relocation of Agilent-branded forensic equipment at the Fort Myers Regional Operations Center Laboratory. The contract, identified by solicitation number FDLE-SS-2646-AD and DMS Single Source number SS-15832, is for relocation services valued at $56,000 under NAICS code 78101804. The sole purpose of this procurement is to ensure that the movement, de-installation, and re-installation of sensitive equipment—including gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers—be performed exclusively by Agilent-certified personnel, as Agilent does not certify any third-party vendors for these tasks. Failure to use certified individuals would void the equipment’s warranty and invalidate current service agreements, potentially disrupting forensic casework and compromising analytical accuracy. The performance location is within the state of Florida, and the work is critical to maintaining uninterrupted laboratory operations during the facility’s relocation. Although no competitive solicitation process was conducted, this action is authorized under Florida Statute 287.057, which permits single-source awards when specialized expertise or manufacturer requirements are essential. The notice serves as a formal announcement of intent with a response deadline of May 28, 2026, allowing for public comment prior to final award. No other contract clauses, packaging specifications, evaluation factors, or inspection criteria are included as this is a post-decision notice, not a solicitation for bids.
