About this opportunity
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Illumina, Inc. for a NovaSeq 6000 Bronze Service Agreement. This procurement covers maintenance and repair services for a government-owned NovaSeq 6000 Bronze sequencing instrument, with Illumina identified as the only responsible source capable of providing service for their proprietary sequencing equipment. The acquisition is being pursued under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for "Only One Responsible Source" and falls under NAICS code 811310 for Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance. The government will evaluate any capability statements submitted by interested parties, though NIEHS retains sole discretion on whether to compete the contract action. Interested parties must submit capability statements via email to Chantal.cornelius@nih.gov by June 13, 2025 at 2:00 PM EDT.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and appears targeted specifically at Illumina, Inc. as the incumbent service provider for their proprietary equipment. The contract period of performance extends from June 29, 2025 to June 28, 2026, representing a one-year service agreement. The notice does not specify award values or budget ranges for the anticipated contract. The procurement focuses on a single piece of laboratory equipment requiring specialized maintenance services that only the original equipment manufacturer can provide. The compressed timeline allows only three days from posting to the deadline for capability statement submissions, reflecting the government's intent to proceed with sole source negotiations.
