AI Contract Overview

The USDA Agricultural Research Service intends to award a sole-source contract to Illumina for the iScan benchtop reader, which operates using BeadArray technology and includes both the iScan Reader and an isolation table. The lab has successfully used Illumina’s equipment and reagents since 2006 for similar genotyping experiments and currently holds enough reagents to process thousands of samples. Maintaining equipment consistency is crucial because Illumina reagents are compatible only with Illumina devices, and the specialized nature of the experiments underscores the need for this procurement approach. This notice serves to inform interested parties and is not a solicitation or commitment to award. While potential suppliers may submit written documentation to the designated point of contact, only written responses will be considered, and any decision to pursue a competitive procurement remains at the government's discretion. The contract is anticipated to be awarded by July 31, 2012, with the place of performance located in Fargo, North Dakota. All inquiries and responses must be directed to Jessica McDonagh, as specified in the notice.
