Qiagen Moving Services

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is proceeding with a statutorily mandated single-source procurement for Qiagen Moving Services under Solicitation Number FDLE-SS-2656, with a posting date of May 12, 2026, and a response deadline of June 3, 2026. The intent is to procure one-time relocation services for sensitive laboratory equipment, including QIAcube Connect and QIAgility Instruments, from the Fort Myers Regional Operations Center to a new location within Florida. This procurement is justified under Florida Statutes 120.57(3) and 287.057(3) due to the exclusive requirement for Qiagen-certified personnel to handle, de-install, transport, and re-install the equipment; use of any other vendor would void manufacturer warranties and compromise operational integrity, as mandated by Florida Administrative Code Rule 60A-1.045 and F.S. 943.325. The estimated contract value is $45,000, with no line-item breakdown or option periods specified. All work must be performed strictly by Qiagen-certified technicians, and third-party involvement is prohibited. No competitive evaluation factors, weights, or award criteria are applicable due to the non-competitive nature of the procurement. Acceptance of services occurs at the destination site upon verification that equipment functionality and warranty conditions have been preserved through adherence to proprietary Qiagen protocols. The place of performance is in Florida, though the exact new facility address is not disclosed. Payment details, invoicing methods, accounting codes, and specific packaging or marking requirements are not outlined in the documentation. The contracting office contact is Greer Hannigan, reachable via email at CentralPurchasing@fdle.state.fl.us or phone at 850-410-7300, and no formal representations, certifications, UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic data are required or provided. The procurement is administered without a competitive bidding process, with final award authority resting with FDLE based solely on the statutory and technical justification for sole-source selection.
