Indical Bioscience, Inc

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to enter into a single-source agreement with Indical Bioscience, Inc. for the procurement of specialized testing supplies and reagents essential for detecting foreign animal diseases under the National Animal Health Laboratory Network. This procurement is justified under Florida Statutes and administrative code due to the exclusive compatibility of Indical Bioscience’s IndiMag 2 nucleic acid extraction system and its USDA-approved Pathogen Kits, which are required for accurate diagnostics of high-consequence pathogens such as Avian Influenza, Foot and Mouth Disease, African Swine Fever, and Newcastle Disease. The contract period runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with an estimated value between $50,000 and $55,000. The supplies must meet strict regulatory standards for use in NAHLN laboratories and are designated under UNSPSC code 41116133. No competitive bidding process is being conducted, and the acquisition is non-competitive by necessity, with no evaluation factors, scoring criteria, or trade-off considerations applied. Prospective vendors may submit information demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent products by July 17, 2026, via email to Procurement@FDACS.gov or by mail to the designated address in Tallahassee, Florida. The point of contact for the procurement is Edward Rondeau, Purchasing Officer. While the contract does not specify detailed packaging, labeling, invoicing, or payment procedures, acceptance of the supplies will occur at the agency’s facilities in Florida, with the government responsible for final inspection and approval. No formal contract clauses, line-item pricing, or certifications from the contractor are provided in the documentation, as this is a state-level sole-source procurement justified solely on technical exclusivity and regulatory compliance.
