BioBase LLC

The contract involves a single source purchase by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) from BioBase LLC, with the intent to award the contract under Florida statute 287.057. The procurement is not a solicitation for bids or proposals but a public notice of the agency’s decision to directly award the contract to BioBase LLC, emphasizing the vendor’s capability to fully perform the contractual requirements with integrity and compliance with applicable laws. The contract value is estimated to range between $500,000 and $1,500,000, and the response deadline for any protests is set for September 24, 2024. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Matthew Carroll, reachable via email and phone. Supporting documentation indicates that this procurement aligns with a broader context of specialized equipment and services, such as the LiveU streaming equipment used for live broadcasts, which was authorized through a similar single source process by the Governor’s office. The justification for a single source award highlights the unique capabilities of the vendor’s offerings, which are not available from other providers, ensuring the agency’s specific technical and operational needs are met without compromise. The procurement process underscores the importance of compliance with Florida statutes and emphasizes that protests must be filed within a strict 72-hour window to be considered.
