INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE - Illumina, Inc

Solicitation # 26-456

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Northwest Fisheries Science Center intends to award a sole-source contract to Illumina, Inc. for the procurement of reagents, supplies, and specialized training for the MiSeq i100 and i100 Plus Next-Generation Sequencing Systems. This acquisition is conducted under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) and 41 USC 190, as Illumina is the sole manufacturer of these proprietary systems and the only entity capable of providing compatible components and manufacturer-led training. These resources are mission-critical for the Genetics and Evolution Program's Molecular Genetics group to perform research in forensics and the conservation of marine and anadromous species, including whales, salmon, and deep-sea corals. The contract has an estimated value of 2.5 million dollars and a performance period of four months, running from September 1, 2026, to December 1, 2026, with two ordering periods. Performance and delivery will take place in Seattle, Washington. Because this is a sole-source procurement based on technical exclusivity, there is no competitive evaluation process. Interested firms wishing to challenge the sole-source determination must submit written substantiating documentation to the government by September 7, 2026.

INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE - OPENTRONS ROBOT

Solicitation # 26-471

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intends to award a sole-source purchase order to Opentrons for the procurement of an Opentrons Flex Liquid Handler Robot and three years of associated service. The equipment will be delivered and performed at the National Systematics Laboratory, Smithsonian Museum Support Center in Suitland, Maryland. This acquisition is designed to automate eDNA metabarcoding workflows, enabling high-efficiency processing of marine environmental DNA samples to support fisheries, ecosystem, and protected species surveys. The period of performance extends for three years from the date of award, with maintenance and support provided through July 30, 2030, via Opentrons Care Plus. The sole-source determination is based on FAR 6.103-1 and the requirement for specific technical capabilities that only Opentrons provides, including an open-source Python API framework for genomics protocols, toolless equipment modularity for end-users, and an intuitive interface designed specifically for biologists rather than robotics engineers. The procurement includes a comprehensive suite of hardware and consumables, such as temperature modules, aluminum blocks, magnetic and gripper modules, and various pipettes and filter tips. While the award is non-competitive due to these unique technical requirements, the agency noted that Opentrons was the lowest-cost option compared to other assessed vendors.
