CFR ENGINES INC.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services intends to purchase laboratory and scientific equipment, specifically Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) engines, from CFR Engines Inc. The purchase includes the overhaul of engine crankcase and carburetor assemblies, replacement of lead-based crankcase with a lead-free alternative, and installation of protective rear guards and a precision fuel blending system. The equipment is required for fuel quality testing at the Division of Consumer Services' laboratories in Pompano Beach and Tampa. • The purchase is for 2 ASTM D2700 for Motor Octane Number (MON) and 2 ASTM D2699 for Research Octane Number (RON) engines. • The estimated contract amount is $1,199,666.68. • The justification for single source acquisition is that CFR Engines Inc. is the only known manufacturer of RON and MON engines that meet the required specifications and integrate with existing CFR testing infrastructure.
