#: 26-482DPH-OFCDI-B-49675

Emergency Category (select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu below):

To prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical State services that affect health, safety, or collection of substantial State revenues

Reason for selection of this particular vendor:

Abbott Laboratories, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and authorized supplier of the reagents, calibrators, control kits, and maintenance services required for the Abbott ARCHITECT i1000SR analyzers currently in use at the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Carbondale Laboratory.

These instruments are proprietary systems that require manufacturer-issued testing kits and certified maintenance support to ensure accurate test performance, maintain instrument calibration, and comply with CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) and ISO standards.

No other vendors are authorized or certified to supply or service these instruments. Procuring reagents or maintenance from an unauthorized source would invalidate equipment warranties, risk noncompliance with laboratory accreditation requirements, and disrupt critical HIV and Syphilis testing statewide.

Therefore, Abbott Laboratories is the only vendor capable of providing the necessary materials and services to ensure continuity of testing operations and public health protection.

Description of supplies or services to be provided:

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Division of Laboratories, requires an emergency procurement of proprietary reagents, calibrators, control kits, consumables, and instrument service for the Abbott ARCHITECT i1000SR analyzer systems used in HIV and Syphilis testing at the IDPH Carbondale Laboratory.

The Abbott ARCHITECT i1000SR is an automated immunoassay analyzer designed for high-accuracy clinical diagnostics. The reagents and consumables used in this system are proprietary to Abbott Laboratories and cannot be substituted with generic or third-party equivalents without compromising test validity or regulatory compliance.

This emergency procurement will include:

• Always-On Service for the ARCHITECT i1000SR instruments

• HIV and Syphilis reagent kits, calibrators, and control kits

• Ancillary solutions such as wash buffers, pre-trigger and trigger solutions, reaction vessels, and probe conditioning solutions

• Preventive maintenance and service support by Abbott-certified technicians

These materials and services are essential to maintain uninterrupted testing operations, uphold CLIA certification standards, ensure data integrity for disease surveillance, and support the timely diagnosis and treatment of HIV and Syphilis across Illinois.

The continuity of these testing services directly supports the health and safety of Illinois residents and prevents serious

List the actions taken by the agency that constitute its best efforts to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program in this emergency purchase:

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Division of Laboratories conducted a review of the Illinois Business Enterprise Program (BEP) vendor directory and prior procurement records to identify any certified suppliers capable of providing the required reagents, consumables, or service support for the Abbott ARCHITECT i1000SR system.

This review confirmed that no BEP-certified vendors are authorized distributors or service providers for Abbott Laboratories products. The proprietary nature of the ARCHITECT i1000SR platform restricts the manufacture and distribution of compatible reagents, calibrators, and maintenance services exclusively to Abbott Laboratories.

IDPH also consulted existing State contracts and procurement records to confirm that no other available contract could fulfill the laboratory’s immediate testing supply and maintenance needs.

These actions demonstrate the Department’s good faith and best efforts to include BEP-certified contractors in the procurement process, consistent with 30 ILCS 500/20-30(a), even though competition and BEP participation were not practicably available under the circumstances

Is there an existing State contract available for the required supplies or services? Yes No
