Qiagen Implements and Equipment

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is seeking to purchase Qiagen implements and equipment for their laboratories. The equipment is required for the QIAsymphony system, which is used to analyze and sample DNA of crime-related specimens. The FDLE currently has 40 QIAGEN instruments in operation and requires QIAGEN supplies and implements, which can only be purchased through QIAGEN, LLC. The estimated dollar amount for this purchase is $1,850,000.00. • The purchase is for a single source, Qiagen LLC, due to the uniqueness of the product and the lack of availability from other sources. • The QIAsymphony system and QIAgility liquid handling system are validated to work with the QIAGEN EZ1 extraction robot already in place in FDLE’s crime laboratories. • The purchase is for a term of one year, from 7/1/26 to 6/30/27. • The FDLE is seeking information from prospective vendors regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described.
