The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) plans to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to Cepheid for on-site annual preventative maintenance of the GeneXpert DX system. This contract is being awarded under FAR Overhaul Part 12.102, restricting competition due to the proprietary nature of the existing system, compatibility needs, and the importance of maintaining continuity in public health testing operations. The GeneXpert DX system is integral to the CDC’s laboratory workflow, used for rapid detection of carbapenemase gene markers from clinical and environmental samples, supporting surge testing, wastewater surveillance, and comparative analyses with standard PCR methods. The CDC has conducted market research to confirm that only authorized vendors can provide the required maintenance and support services for the Cepheid platform. Although this notice is not a request for competitive proposals, the agency invites any interested parties authorized to support the GeneXpert DX system to respond within 15 days of the notice’s issuance to be considered. Responses will be assessed solely for determining whether to pursue competitive procurement. The contract is associated with NAICS code 325413 for in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing, and all communications should be directed to the designated contract specialist by the stated deadline. The contract performance will be based in Atlanta, Georgia, where the CDC’s Office of Acquisition Services is located.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source, firm fixed price contract to CEPHEID.


This contract action is being conducted in accordance with FAR Overhaul Part 12.102, Restricting Competition. The Government determined that only one source is reasonably available to meet the current requirement based on the proprietary nature of the existing system configuration, compatibility requirements, and continuity of ongoing operations. The North American Industry Classification System code for this procurement is 325413 - In-Vitro Diagnostic Substance Manufacturing. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals.


This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all responses received within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this notice will be considered by the government.  A determination by the government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government.  Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.  Any quotation/response should be emailed to the  contract specialist Ruben Reyes at qmz3@cdc.gov by 08:00AM, May 29, 2026.


The Government currently utilizes the Cepheid GeneXpert DX system, an automated platform used for rapid detection and analysis of carbapenemase gene markers from rectal swab specimens and wastewater samples in support of public health testing activities.


The GeneXpert DX system has been integrated into the existing laboratory workflow and supports continuity of operations, surge testing capabilities, and ongoing Healthcare Wastewater sampling efforts. The system is also used to support comparative analysis against standard PCR testing methodologies.


Due to the proprietary nature of the GeneXpert DX platform, including manufacturer-specific components, software, maintenance requirements, and warranty conditions, the Government is seeking sources capable of providing authorized support and maintenance services for the existing equipment configuration.


The Government conducted market research, including review of available vendor information and communication with existing maintenance support resources, to identify potential sources capable of supporting the current system. Responses are being requested from vendors authorized to provide maintenance and support services for the Cepheid GeneXpert DX platform.
