Bionomics Inc.

The Florida Department of Health, through its Bureau of Radiation Control, has issued a sole-source solicitation to Bionomics, Inc. for the disposal and removal of unused sealed radioactive sources, including specific devices such as CDV 794, CDV 793 Irradiators, QSA Global 880D, and Global 660B. This procurement is mandated under the federal Source Collection and Threat Reduction (SCATR) program and authorized by Chapter 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code, which permits non-competitive acquisition due to Bionomics, Inc.’s exclusive designation as the sole contractor for radioactive source disposal within the state. The total contract value is set at $118,098, with no itemized line items or option periods specified, indicating a fixed-price arrangement. Performance is limited to the State of Florida, with all collection, transportation, and final disposal activities to be conducted in accordance with SCATR protocols and state regulatory requirements, ensuring complete removal and decontamination with no residual radiological risk. The solicitation, identified as EXP2681-AD, was posted on July 16, 2026, with a deadline for paper submissions set for July 21, 2026, and submissions are required to be delivered physically to the Florida Department of Health’s Tallahassee office, as electronic submissions are not permitted. Carolina Juarez serves as the primary point of contact for all inquiries, while Allegra Small, Chief of the Bureau of Procurement and Contract Administration, is the approving official. There are no formally documented contract clauses, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or special requirements beyond the mandatory use of Bionomics, Inc., and no detailed packaging, marking, invoicing, or accounting data such as TAS or AAC codes are provided. The acquisition is non-competitive by design, relying entirely on federal program exclusivity rather than competitive evaluation, and no formal representations, certifications, or technical specifications beyond regulatory compliance are included in the documentation.
