Contract 256157 Amendment 1 QIAGEN

The State of Utah, through the Division of Purchasing and General Services, intends to award Amendment 1 to Contract 256157 on a sole-source basis to QIAGEN LLC for the QIAsprint Connect system and a three-year service plan, with a proposed contract total of $258,984.35. This non-competitive award is justified under the Utah Procurement Code due to the exclusive proprietary technology held by QIAGEN, which renders the system irreplaceable without incurring significant transitional costs or operational disruption. The procurement bypasses standard competitive procedures because only QIAGEN can provide the required hardware and consumables, and switching vendors would compromise system integration, continuity, and compliance with established workflows within the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. The amendment adds funding for the system and service plan, with delivery and performance set to occur in Utah under FOB Destination, Prepaid and Added to Invoice terms, meaning QIAGEN bears all shipping costs and risks until delivery. The contract includes special requirements such as compliance with Utah’s anti-boycott statute, export control regulations prohibiting re-export to sanctioned countries, and documentation of transitional cost justification under state law. No competitive evaluation factors, federal FAR clauses, military packaging standards, or detailed inspection criteria are applicable, as the award relies entirely on statutory exemptions. The contract period of performance is not explicitly defined but is tied to the three-year service agreement, with potential renewal options anticipated but unspecified. Payment terms are net 30 days to QIAGEN’s Maryland remittance address, and proposals must be submitted electronically through Utah’s procurement portal by August 3, 2026, with supporting documentation including cost-benefit analysis and evidence of vendor exclusivity.
