Agilent Technologies, Inc.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has issued an amended single source procurement, solicitation number SS 25 26 03 Amended, to Agilent Technologies, Inc. for the maintenance, repair, and technical support of laboratory equipment. This non-competitive award is justified under Florida Statute section 287.057(3) and Rule 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code, as Agilent is the original equipment manufacturer and the sole provider of the proprietary parts, software, and specialized support required for the instrumentation. The services support the Divisions of Agricultural Environmental Services and Food Safety, ensuring the continuous operation of critical systems used for the USDA Pesticide Data Program, the Food Emergency Response Network, and other public health and regulatory missions. The estimated contract amount is approximately 127,691.16 dollars, with a total ceiling of 500,000 dollars. Performance will take place at state facilities within Florida, focusing on the delivery of OEM parts, hardware and software updates, and rapid repair responses to prevent mission-critical downtime. The procurement process was posted on October 20, 2025, with a deadline of October 23, 2025. As this is a statutorily mandated advertisement of a single source award rather than a request for bids, no competitive evaluation factors were applied, and the award is based on the technical necessity and exclusivity of the manufacturer.
