About this file
This Emergency Purchase Statement documents an emergency procurement by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), Division of Laboratories, through the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services. The agency requires proprietary reagents, calibrators, control kits, consumables, and maintenance services for Abbott ARCHITECT i1000SR analyzer systems used for HIV and Syphilis testing at the IDPH Carbondale Laboratory. The procurement includes three Always-On Service contracts, 4,000 HIV Reagent Kits, 4,500 Syphilis Reagent Kits, four HIV Ag/Ab Calibrator Kits, ten HIV Ag/Ab Control Kits, seven Pre-Trigger Solutions, two Probe Conditioning Solutions, five Reaction Vessels, two Replacement Caps, four Septums, four Syphilis Calibrator Kits, and ten Syphilis Control Kits. The emergency was declared necessary to maintain CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) certification, warranty coverage, and uninterrupted testing operations for critical public health services. The contract was awarded when the state agency communicated with the vendor to start work.
Abbott Laboratories Inc., located at 100 Abbott Park Road in Abbott Park, Illinois, was selected as the sole vendor due to being the manufacturer and exclusive authorized supplier of the required proprietary products and certified maintenance services. The total expenditure for this emergency purchase is $38,079.50, classified as an actual cost. The procurement was funded with Federal Funds. IDPH conducted competitive efforts by reviewing the Illinois Business Enterprise Program vendor directory and existing state contracts but confirmed no BEP-certified vendors or alternative suppliers are authorized to provide Abbott ARCHITECT i1000SR components or services due to the proprietary nature of the equipment and regulatory requirements. The emergency procurement was necessitated because two prior Invitations for Bid were unsuccessful or pending contract execution, requiring immediate action to prevent serious disruption to critical state health services.

Emergency Purchase Details BidBuy Reference #: B- 52638
Emergency Condition (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
Provide a description and reasons for needing this emergency purchase:
The instrument requires manufacturer service to maintain its operational status, warranty coverage, and compliance with CLIA standards. Continued CLIA certification requires that this instrument remain under active service coverage and undergo routine manufacturer certified calibration to ensure accuracy, reliability, and validity of test results.
IDPH does not possess another instrument capable of performing this specific testing. Maintaining proper calibration and warranty coverage is essential for the instrument to remain compliant, functional, and legally acceptable for diagnostic use under CLIA.
This emergency action is necessary to ensure uninterrupted testing operations, preserve regulatory compliance, and protect the health and safety of Illinois residents.
Provide the conditions and circumstances that led to the need for this emergency purchase:
IDPH has issued two separate Invitations for Bid (IFBs) for this service: 24 482DPH OFCDI B 41682 and 25 482DPH OFCDI B 47043. The first IFB was not successful, and the second IFB has progressed through evaluation and recommendation for award; however, the resulting contract has not yet been executed.
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

Vendor: Abbott Laboratories Inc.
Zip: 62761State: ILCity:Springfield Address: 535 W Jefferson Street
Division: Office of Disease Control Division of LaboratoriesAgency: Illinois Department of Public Health 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 disruption in critical public health operations.
Items included in this contract include:

Emergency procurements shall be made with as much competition as is practicable under the circumstances, and agencies shall utilize best efforts to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program in its emergency procurement process. 30 ILCS 500/20-30(a).
Describe the actions taken by the agency to make the emergency purchase with as much competition as is practicable under the circumstances:
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.

Vendor: Abbott Laboratories Inc.
Zip: 62761State: ILCity:Springfield Address: 535 W Jefferson Street
Division: Office of Disease Control Division of LaboratoriesAgency: Illinois Department of Public Health
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
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 instrument must be serviced and calibrated by the manufacturer to maintain warranty coverage and remain compliant with CLIA standards, and these services cannot be subcontracted to any third party. Because the manufacturer is the only entity permitted to provide service, calibration, and required components under CLIA and instrument warranty requirements, no BEP‑certified vendor could be included in this emergency purchase.
Is there an active State contract available for the required supplies or services? Yes No
