About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health National Human Genome Research Institute intends to award a sole-source contract to Illumina Inc. for preventative maintenance services on iScan and Tecan LiHa laboratory instruments, with capability statements from interested vendors due August 6, 2026. The justification for sole source under FAR 6.302-1 rests on Illumina's exclusive capability to service these proprietary instruments, which incorporate proprietary software and patent-protected designs and were procured directly from the manufacturer. A separate MAITAI Ti:Sapphire laser upgrade component must be performed by Spectra-Physics (Newport Corporation) due to system compatibility and sophistication requirements.
Place of performance is not specified in the notice. The iScan and Tecan LiHa instruments have generated over 2 billion SNP genotypes for research investigators; the Government states that substituting alternative vendors would require complete equipment and service interface upgrades, resulting in significant downtime, retraining, and unacceptable research disruption.
The notice invites written capability statements from interested small businesses, including 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and women-owned small businesses. Submissions are due by 09:00 a.m. EDT on August 6, 2026, to danielt@mail.nih.gov. The Government reserves discretion to compete the contract; submission of capability statements does not obligate award consideration. Anticipated contract award is approximately five days after the notice closing date, contingent on the Government's determination that no alternative vendor can satisfy the requirement.
