Labworks, LLC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to award a single-source agreement to Labworks, LLC for software maintenance and support services under solicitation number SS 26 27 17, with a contract period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027. The procurement, classified under NAICS code 81112200, is valued at up to $100,000 and is justified on the grounds that Labworks, LLC is the original manufacturer of the LABWORKS LIMS software and the only known source capable of providing the required support, training, and hardware integration necessary to maintain compliance with Florida statutes Chapters 487, 576, 578, and 580. Services include software licenses, ongoing technical support for both software and associated hardware, and user training to ensure the continued functionality of laboratory systems used in feed, seed, fertilizer, and pesticide regulatory programs. This procurement follows statutory requirements for public notice, with a 15-business-day window through June 24, 2026, allowing other potential vendors to submit information if they believe they can provide equivalent services, though no competitive bidding or evaluation process is anticipated. The contract is sole-source due to proprietary software ownership and specialized technical expertise, eliminating standard solicitation procedures; no delivery schedules, inspection criteria, payment terms, or contract administration details are specified beyond the service scope and performance period. All correspondence must be directed to Brittany Harvey at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, with information submissions due by the stated deadline.
