Spex Certiprep

The Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Public Health Laboratories, is procuring proprietary quality control standards, calibration standards, and proficiency test samples from Spex Certiprep LLC to support mandatory proficiency testing for pesticides, metals, solvents, and microorganisms in cannabis laboratories, as required for accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and OMMU Rule 64-4.309. This is a single-source acquisition justified by the exclusive nature of Spex Certiprep’s certified reference materials, which are indispensable for maintaining regulatory compliance and ensuring laboratory accuracy without disruption to ongoing accreditation. The estimated contract value is $68,545.55 for a one-year term, with no option periods or additional clauses provided. There is no competitive evaluation process; award is based solely on the necessity of product specificity and the absence of viable alternatives that meet state and international standards. The place of performance is the Florida Department of Health in Tallahassee, where the materials will be received and used for testing, and the government assumes full responsibility for inspection and acceptance based on compliance with established quality standards. No federal acquisition regulations apply; instead, procurement authority is derived from Florida Statute 120.57(3) and Administrative Code Chapter 60A-1.045, permitting sole-source justification due to technical exclusivity. The primary point of contact is Israel Campbell, with no formally designated contracting officer, COR, or COTR identified. No detailed packaging, shipping, invoicing, accounting codes, or itemized line items are specified, and the solicitation does not require offeror certifications, representations, or socioeconomic disclosures. Responses must be submitted by June 8, 2026, to the provided address, with no electronic submission system outlined, implying traditional mail or hand delivery is acceptable.
