About this opportunity

This state and local contract opportunity issued by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDA) is for the sole source procurement of a gas chromatograph with a triple quadrupole (GC/MS) system from Agilent Technologies. The new instrument will replace the IDA's existing obsolete GC/MSD equipment, which is used for analyzing pesticide misuse samples and providing evidence for regulatory investigations. The required GC/MS system must include specific components and capabilities, such as a Multimode Inlet, Helium Conservation Module, autoinjector, and a Quadrupole MS/MS detector with MassHunter software. The total value of the purchase is $318,351.19, which includes a trade-in discount for the IDA's existing instrument. Agilent Technologies has been deemed the sole economically feasible source for this specialized analytical equipment, as they are the only provider that can ensure compatibility with the IDA's existing instrumentation and data analysis methods, as well as offer factory-authorized service, software updates, and training. The IDA has published a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Agilent, with a hearing scheduled to be canceled unless an interested party submits written comments or requests a public hearing by December 22, 2023.

The contract opportunity does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The only incumbent vendor identified is Agilent Technologies, as the IDA has used their equipment for over 30 years. The purchase will be funded through state and federal sources, but the specific budget ranges or award values are not provided in the contract documentation.
