Description
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (Division of Food Safety) intends to enter a sole‑source contract with Illumina, Inc. to purchase MiSeq sequencing reagents, library preparation kits, indexing sets, and quality‑control materials required for its regulatory DNA testing laboratory. The agency is seeking information from prospective vendors about their ability to supply these proprietary consumables; the contract value is estimated between $40,000 and $75,000, with execution slated for June 30 2027.
