Burker Scientific, LLC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to enter into a single source agreement with Bruker Scientific, LLC for preventive laboratory equipment maintenance under NAICS code 81101706, with a contract period from July 1, 2026, to August 7, 2027. This procurement is justified solely on the basis that Bruker Scientific, LLC is the only known source with the technical expertise to maintain specialized laboratory instruments including Mass Spectrometry, Surface Plasmon Resonance, and liquid Chromatography MALDI systems, which are critical to the operations of the Bronson Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory and required to maintain American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians accreditation. The estimated contract value ranges between $42,400 and $47,400, encompassing maintenance services, software and database support, training, and parts supply. No competitive solicitation or evaluation factors are applicable due to the single-source nature of the procurement, and the agency has issued a public notice to allow prospective vendors until June 30, 2026, to submit information regarding their ability to provide similar services, though no formal bid or proposal is being sought. All correspondence must be directed to Edward Rondeau, Procurement Officer, at the agency’s Tallahassee office via phone, email, or mail. The agreement will be performed entirely within the state of Florida, and while specific payment, shipping, or inspection terms are not detailed, internal agency coordination has been confirmed through key personnel across the Division of Animal Industry and Division of Administration.
