USBE-AR27019 ACW - Certiport Certification Vouchers - Part 8 Sole SourceThe Utah State Board of Education intends to award a sole-source contract for Certiport Certification Vouchers under the solicitation number USBE-AR27019-ACW, citing justification under Utah law that allows non-competitive procurement when only one source exists, transitional costs would be prohibitive, or standard processes are impractical. The contract is tied to educational certification needs and aligns with the state’s requirement to maintain continuity in certification services due to proprietary or unique system dependencies. No competitive bidding process is planned unless valid challenges are submitted demonstrating alternative vendors can meet or exceed the specified requirements with comparable or lower transitional costs. Interested parties must submit formal challenges through the Utah Public Procurement Place Portal by the deadline of July 27, 2026, including their name, detailed justification, and supporting documentation such as proof of comparable or equivalent products, ability to provide the same proprietary item, and cost comparisons if transitional expenses are cited as the rationale. Only vendors who provide complete responses through the official portal will be considered, and all communication regarding this notice must occur through this channel. If no timely, valid challenges are received, the contract will be awarded directly to the identified vendor without further competition. This notice serves solely to seek objections, not to invite proposals or bids.

D--DRAGEN-GATK Licenses & Support at FRCE & BiowulfThe National Cancer Institute’s Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology requires annual software licenses and technical support for Illumina DRAGEN Server processors to sustain critical genomic data processing operations across its high-performance computing environments at Biowulf in Bethesda, Maryland and the Frederick Research Computing Environment in Frederick, Maryland. The contract calls for two annual licenses for LVL 2 DRAGEN Server processors, each capable of 250,000 GB throughput, and two annual Advance Exchange Support Plans with 8x5 remote technical support, one for each location. These licenses are required to maintain the integrated DRAGEN-GATK workflow, which is essential for whole genome and whole exome sequencing analysis and is accessed through the NIH Integrated Data Analysis Platform and SLURM-managed batch clusters. Performance will occur exclusively at the two specified sites, with the period of performance spanning from September 29, 2026, to September 28, 2027. This acquisition is designated as a brand name, noncompetitive, sole source action because Illumina, Inc. is the only provider of the proprietary FPGA-based DRAGEN Server hardware that enables the required 30X acceleration in genomic data processing, and no commercially available alternative software can replicate its performance or integration with GATK. The National Cancer Institute has historically deployed this technology and must continue its use to ensure consistency in reference genome alignment and variant calling across its aggregated sequencing datasets. Only authorized resellers of Illumina, Inc. are eligible to respond, and proof of such authorization is mandatory for award consideration. The solicitation number is 140D0426Q0737, with a response deadline of August 5, 2026, and an anticipated award date of August 31, 2026. The acquisition is not subject to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement or any Free Trade Agreements, and no technical data is required from offerors beyond proof of authorized reseller status.
