Bidders are required to acknowledge the amendment by signing and returning it with their bid, with the acknowledgement to be received by the Department of Public Safety at the specified time and place for bid receipt.
The amendment emphasizes critical technical specifications, such as requiring the use of specific PCR amplification kits (Globalfiler for autosomal STR and Yfiler Plus for Y-STR), mandating 25 μL reaction volumes to minimize potential inhibitors, and stipulating that vendor laboratories must follow the latest FBI Quality Assurance standards. The document also requires vendors to provide a minimum of three professional references from organizations with whom they have previously contracted for similar services. Contact information is provided for Britney Wesley and Sonya Williams for any questions regarding the IFB, with their phone, fax, and email details clearly listed. The amendment maintains that all other terms and conditions remain unchanged from the original invitation for bid.
