About this opportunity
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has published a Notice of Intent to procure genetic analyzer equipment and related services on a sole-source basis from Life Technologies Corporation. This Special Notice, posted on February 5, 2026, informs the market of the FBI's intention to award a contract under FAR 6.302-1, which permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The FBI Laboratory Division requires one AB 3500XL Genetic Analyzer with associated installation kits and training services to support its DNA analysis capabilities for human identification purposes. The NAICS code for this procurement is 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. This notice constitutes the only publication of this requirement and is not a competitive request for quotes.
The FBI intends to sole-source this contract to Life Technologies Corporation because it is the sole manufacturer and distributor of the 3500XL Genetic Analyzer and all compatible consumables and parts required for operation. Interested parties must submit capability statements by 5:00 PM EST on February 12, 2026, via email only, demonstrating clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Submission requirements include the company's Dun and Bradstreet number, CAGE Code, UEI Unique Entity ID, and business size classification, along with detailed information about experience, equipment, background, and ability to provide the required instruments without compromising quality, reliability, safety, accuracy, and schedule. The government will use responses solely to determine whether competitive procurement is warranted and reserves the right to proceed with sole-source award regardless of submissions received. Contract delivery is expected within 120 days after order receipt, and no reimbursement will be provided for capability statement preparation costs.
