About this opportunity
The EPA's Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention intends to sole-source an annual BaseSpace Correlation Engine-Large Academic License to Illumina, Inc., with a capability-statement response deadline of June 4, 2026. The procurement is justified on the basis that Illumina is the exclusive authorized provider of the platform, with no authorized resellers or third-party vendors available to supply the software.
The EPA Office of Finance and Administration, Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, Water, Tribal & Science Division is managing the procurement under FAR 12.102(a) and subpart 12.2. A previous three-year contract was awarded to Illumina on February 27, 2025, comprising a twelve-month base period and two twelve-month option periods that were not exercised due to funding unavailability. OCSPP scientists require continued access to the BaseSpace platform for ongoing genomics research studies and archived data analysis.
The procurement carries NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) and PSC 7A21 (IT and Telecom—Business Application Software, Perpetual License Software). No set-asides apply. The notice invites capability statements from any firm believing it can meet EPA requirements; responses must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would benefit the Government. Inquiries should be directed to Contracting Officer Kareen Mansfield (Mansfield.Kareen@epa.gov) or Contract Specialist Lemile Chandler (Chandler.Lemile@epa.gov).
