Teledyne Portable Dynamic Gas Calibrator and Zero Air Generator
Solicitation # 2027SS001AD
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has issued a single-source procurement notice to award a contract to Teledyne Advanced Pollution Instrumentation for the purchase of T750U Portable Dynamic Gas Calibrators and T751H Portable Zero Air Generators, along with spare parts and repair services, totaling $223,000. This decision is made under Florida Statute 287.057 and Rule 60A-1.045, which permits non-competitive procurement when a vendor is the sole manufacturer capable of providing equipment that meets federal air quality monitoring standards under 40 CFR Part 58. The equipment is essential for maintaining the state’s Ambient Air Monitoring Network, ensuring accurate calibration of gas analyzers and reliable data collection for regulatory compliance. The procurement is not subject to competitive bidding, and any protest must be filed within the timeframe established by Florida Statute 120.57(3), with failure to file or post required security constituting a waiver of rights under Chapter 120. The contract includes a two-year manufacturer warranty and requires unlimited technical support directly from Teledyne API, as well as inventory availability of backup units to ensure continuous operations. Delivery and performance are scoped entirely within the state of Florida, with inspection and acceptance conducted by the Department at the deployment location. No formal line-item pricing, packaging specifications, barcoding requirements, or MIL-STDs are included, and while the agency designates Kimberly Bowling as the primary point of contact, no official Contracting Officer, COR, or COTR is named. No option periods, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or detailed payment instructions are provided, and the procurement lacks standard FAR clauses, evaluation factors, or required certifications, reinforcing its status as a non-competitive, regulatory-compliance-driven acquisition.
