Purchase Order 75N94025P00146

This is a $149,635.44 firm fixed price purchase order contract awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to Illumina, Inc. for a one-year Silver Support Service/Maintenance Plan for two Illumina sequencing instruments - a NovaSeq 6000 and a MiSeq. The contract provides comprehensive coverage for repair parts, labor, travel, reagent/kit replacements, preventive maintenance, remote technical support, and on-site field application scientist support to ensure continuous, high-accuracy operation of these critical research instruments used by NICHD investigators for genomic sequencing and analysis to understand genetics, disease, and advance precision medicine. This sole source acquisition was conducted using simplified procedures without a small business set-aside, as Illumina is the sole authorized provider of service and maintenance for these Illumina-manufactured sequencers.
