Perkinelmer U.S. LLC

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to enter into a single-source agreement with PerkinElmer U.S. LLC for comprehensive laboratory equipment maintenance services to support its Division of Agricultural Environmental Services laboratories. This procurement is necessary because PerkinElmer is the original manufacturer of the specialized equipment used in the state’s labs, and only its certified support can ensure proper operation of instruments with proprietary designs and specialized components critical for testing pesticides, fertilizer, seed, and feed. The contract covers all maintenance, repairs, parts, supplies, software, and hardware support required to keep PerkinElmer equipment operational through June 30, 2027, with an estimated value between $91,000 and $100,000. The solicitation number is SS 26 27 19, and the NAICS code is 81101706 for laboratory equipment maintenance. This action follows statutory requirements for a 15-business-day public notice, inviting other vendors to submit information demonstrating their capability to provide similar services, with responses due by June 24, 2026. If no viable alternative is identified, the award will proceed exclusively to PerkinElmer based on the justification that no other source can provide the necessary manufacturer-certified technical expertise. All communications regarding this procurement must be directed to Brittany Harvey at the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in Tallahassee, via phone, email, or mailing address provided.
