Life Technologies Corporation Implements, Software, and Equipment Maintenance

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued a single-source procurement notice for the procurement of implements, software, and equipment maintenance from Life Technologies Corporation under solicitation number FDLE-SS-2652-AD, with a DMS Single Source Number of SS-15823. This action is authorized under Florida Statute 287.057 and Rule 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code, justifying the non-competitive award due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and required services. The contract supports FDLE’s Regional Operations Centers, which operate crime laboratories responsible for high-profile criminal case investigations, and mandates that all chemical reagents, software upgrades, and maintenance services be sourced exclusively from Life Technologies Corporation because only their certified engineers have access to authorized parts, validated software updates, and the specialized training required to maintain the agency’s proprietary instruments without violating established Standard Operating Procedures and validation protocols. The estimated contract value is $8,000,000.00, and the procurement will be fulfilled through multiple orders placed by FDLE crime laboratories across Florida over the term of the agreement. The NAICS code 41122400 classifies this as a laboratory implements and services contract, with additional support from codes 43232605 for analytical software and 81101706 for equipment maintenance. All work must be performed within the state of Florida, and compliance with existing validated methods and proprietary system requirements is mandatory. The posting was made on May 21, 2026, with a response deadline of May 27, 2026, and the primary point of contact is Greer Hannigan at CentralPurchasing@fdle.state.fl.us or (850) 410-7300. There are no competitive evaluation factors, submission requirements, inspection procedures, or detailed contract clauses included, as this is an administrative notice of intent to award, not a solicitation for bids.
