Infinium Global Diversity Array Kits.The National Institutes of Health, through its Office of Logistics and Operations, is conducting a non-competitive, sole-source acquisition under FAR Part 13 for technical support services related to the Infinium Methylation Global Diversity Array Kits, with a simplified acquisition ceiling of $350,000. This procurement is justified based on Illumina, Inc.’s exclusive and irreplaceable capability to provide specialized technical support through its dedicated team of Technical Applications Scientists and Field Application Scientists, who possess unmatched expertise in troubleshooting the proprietary Infinium assay system. Only Illumina can deliver free-of-charge replacement reagents in the event of assay failure due to product performance, a critical requirement that no other vendor can meet. The acquisition is issued under NAICS code 541714 and is open to businesses certifying their size status as small or other than small based on the $34 million annual receipts threshold, with all offerors required to maintain active SAM registration and provide a Unique Entity ID and Taxpayer Identification Number. The contract performance location is Bethesda, Maryland, and proposals must be submitted electronically via email to the designated point of contact by the July 2, 2026 deadline. No formal evaluation factors, line items, pricing details, or packaging requirements are specified, as this is a presolicitation notice relying entirely on the unique technical capabilities of the sole source. Acceptance criteria are implicitly tied to the contractor’s ability to sustain assay performance through timely troubleshooting and replacement reagents. The contract type is unspecified, and no options, security clearances, key personnel, or organizational conflict of interest provisions are included, as the acquisition is narrowly focused on the singular technical support needs tied to Illumina’s proprietary platform.

TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Protein-Based Rare Earth Recovery via CondensationLos Alamos National Laboratory has developed a bio-inspired protein system for selectively capturing and concentrating rare earth elements from complex liquid mixtures, offering a cleaner and more adaptable alternative to traditional, environmentally taxing extraction methods. The technology leverages an engineered version of Lanmodulin, a protein with high affinity for rare earths, modified by fusing an encapsulation peptide to its N-terminus. This modification enables the protein-metal complexes to self-assemble into separable biomolecular condensates upon binding target elements, allowing for straightforward recovery through centrifugation, filtration, or sedimentation without the need for immobilization on solid supports. The modular design permits swapping in different Lanmodulin variants optimized for specific rare earth targets, making the platform highly versatile across diverse feedstocks such as mining effluents, electronic waste streams, and industrial runoff. The system not only enables efficient concentration of rare earths but also allows for the recovery and reuse of the protein itself, enhancing sustainability and reducing operational costs. This innovation is positioned to support resilient supply chains for critical materials essential to energy storage, electronics, electric vehicles, and advanced manufacturing, aligning with growing demand for environmentally responsible processing techniques. It is designed for applications across critical minerals recovery, mining and mineral processing, waste recycling, environmental remediation, and biomanufacturing, with potential to transform how rare earths are extracted from low-grade or mixed sources. The technology is at Technology Readiness Level 3, with a U.S. patent pending, and is being offered for exclusive or non-exclusive licensing by the Department of Energy through its Triad contractor. Interested parties can engage through Los Alamos National Laboratory’s licensing program, with inquiries directed to licensing@lanl.gov, and proposals must be submitted by December 23, 2026. The technology is not being developed externally by LANL, but is available for commercialization by industry partners seeking to advance sustainable metal recovery solutions.
