The Minnesota Department of Commerce intends to enter into an agreement with Mettler Toledo for the purchase and shipping of one Mass Comparator.

The Department of Commerce determined that a Mass Comparator from Mettler Toledo is the only commercially reasonably available commodity product. This is deemed a single source purchase because after conducting a search, only one other vendor offers a mass comparator at a similar capacity.

However, this comparator does not meet the Department of Commerce’s specifications for Repeatability, Electrical weighing range, Linearity (electrical weighing range) and settling time.

Mettler Toledo does not sell via any distribution network partner, or via sub-seller/entrepreneurial supply companies.

If there are any concerns regarding this single source opportunity, contact Anna Totzke at Anna.Totzke@state.mn.us before 12/14/2022, at 3:00PM Central Time. Include the reference number and title of the posting in the subject line. Or you may call the HelpLine at 651.296.2600 (MN Relay Service for persons with speech or hearing disabilities: 711 or 1.800.627.3529) or fax your request to 651.297.3996, ATTN: HelpLine.
