About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Global Health Center, intends to issue a modification to existing purchase order 75D30123M17407 on a sole-source basis to Cepheid to add maintenance service agreements for three GeneXpert lab instruments, with capability statements due August 6, 2026. This procurement is a sole-source acquisition under FAR Part 12.102(a) because Cepheid manufactures the GeneXpert instruments and holds exclusive access to the proprietary technical specifications, parts, and calibration protocols required for proper maintenance; using a non-authorized provider would risk compromising instrument performance and diagnostic test reliability.
The modification adds maintenance service coverage for one GeneXpert GX-XVI R2 instrument, one GeneXpert GX16-16 instrument, and one GeneXpert GX4-4 10-color instrument to the existing service agreement. No competitive solicitation will be posted; only Cepheid will receive a solicitation. However, responsible sources believing they can meet the requirements may submit written capability statements to the Contracting Officer by August 6, 2026; verbal requests will not be accepted. The Government will consider all responses solely to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement, with the final decision within the Contracting Officer's discretion. Inquiries should be directed to Liubov Kriel at vyh1@cdc.gov, with solicitation #2026-Q-95500 referenced on the subject line.
