The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences, State of California, City of Arlington, Texas A&M University, City of Meriden, Harris County Sheriff's Office, and Gwinnett County have all issued recent solicitations spanning forensic DNA analysis reagents, next-generation sequencing consumables, Shiga toxin diagnostic kits, water treatment chemicals, crime scene collection supplies, and laboratory chemical supplies. Work typically involves specialized branded reagents and consumables with exacting storage, shelf-life, and compatibility requirements, often tied to specific laboratory instrumentation or protocols.
