BCL-G49-Clarity Renewal-Illumina-Micro-Sole Source

The Alabama Bureau of Clinical Laboratories is seeking to procure BaseSpace Clarity LIMS Professional Cloud subscription licenses through a sole source procurement. The contract includes an annual subscription for three named users, one primary instance, and one additional test instance, with specific components such as Illumina preset protocols, instrument integrations, database read-only access, API access, Lab Logic Toolkit, Lab Instrument Toolkit, Lablink, and online phone support. The procurement specifically requires an Illumina subscription with no alternates or substitutions allowed. The contract term is 12 months, with a proposal due date of February 25, 2025, and a posted date of February 20, 2025. The Bureau reserves the right to not award the contract based on budget restrictions. The procurement is detailed in the solicitation with specific product codes for the BaseSpace Clarity LIMS Professional Cloud services, including additional user subscriptions and hosted test instance provisions.

The contract opportunity appears to be restricted to a sole source vendor (Illumina) with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned. No incumbent vendor information is provided beyond the requirement for an Illumina-specific solution. The procurement is specifically for the Alabama Department of Public Health's Bureau of Clinical Laboratories, indicating an internal state agency technology procurement. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves multiple subscription licenses and additional user access, suggesting a potential moderate-value technology services contract. The terms and conditions for the procurement reference Illumina's standard on-premise subscription agreement, which interested parties must review. The contract includes provisions for multiple named user licenses and a test instance, indicating a comprehensive laboratory information management system (LIMS) solution for the state's clinical laboratories.
