Illumina Service Contract

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) plans to award a non-competitive contract to Illumina, Inc. for maintenance services critical to the operation of their sequencing instruments at the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center (NISC). These Illumina sequencers are essential for the high-throughput DNA sequencing work that supports multiple NIH institutes. Given the importance of keeping this equipment well-maintained and operational to ensure timely completion of sequencing projects, the contract will be awarded without full and open competition under simplified acquisition procedures, with a value not exceeding $350,000. This action is being taken under the authority of FAR Part 13 for single-source procurement. The solicitation, posted on May 14, 2026, has a response deadline of May 22, 2026, and is managed by the Office of Acquisition and Logistics Management within NIH’s Office of Logistics and Operations. Although this is a non-competitive notice, interested parties may submit capability statements or proposals to be considered before the government finalizes this sole-source award. Respondents must provide technical and cost proposals, relevant business certifications, and must be registered in the System for Award Management. The work will be performed in Bethesda, Maryland, and the NAICS code applicable to this procurement is 811210, covering maintenance and repair of equipment.
