Mindray Animal Medical Technology North America, Co., LTD

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to enter into a single source agreement with Mindray Animal Medical Technology North America, Co., LTD for Preventive Laboratory Equipment Maintenance and Supplies to support the Bronson Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in Kissimmee, Florida. The procurement is justified on the basis that Mindray is the exclusive provider of reagents, supplies, calibrators, controls, and consumables required for the Mindray Respons 910VET and EXIAS e|1 ISE analyzers, making it the only known source capable of ensuring compatibility and uninterrupted operation of this specialized equipment. The agreement will cover maintenance, miscellaneous repairs, software and hardware support, training, and the supply of proprietary parts and clinical pathology materials essential for laboratory functionality, with a specified period of performance from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The estimated contract value is up to $50,000, with an approximate amount of $41,850 allocated for the full scope of services and supplies. This is not a competitive solicitation but a statutory notice of intent to proceed with a non-competitive procurement, as required by law, providing a 15-business-day window for other potential vendors to submit information demonstrating their capability to fulfill the requirements. Any interested party must respond by June 30, 2026, to the designated procurement contact, Edward Rondeau, via email or phone, though no formal proposal submission is required unless the department determines the single source justification is no longer valid. The NAICS code associated with the procurement is 81101706 for laboratory equipment maintenance, and the services are tied to specific UNSPSC classifications for laboratory supplies and maintenance. All technical requirements, including the proprietary nature of the supplies and equipment, are outlined in the attached PUR 7776, and no competitive evaluation factors, inspection criteria, or contract administration details are provided as the process is not seeking bids or proposals at this stage.
