About this opportunity

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is seeking to procure a Bio-Rad QX200 Droplet Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR) System for its Inland Fisheries Division's Analytical Services Laboratory through Invitation for Bid (IFB) 802-26-66187. The comprehensive system must include a droplet generator, droplet reader, laptop computer with software, system management software, consumables, thermal cycler, plate sealer, and associated components. Specific technical requirements mandate the system's ability to create 20,000 nanoliter-sized droplets from a 20 μL PCR reaction, compatibility with DG8 Cartridges, and capability to analyze a full 96-well plate in under 2.5 hours. The system is intended for advanced DNA analysis applications, including copy number variations, mutation detection, and gene expression analysis, with an estimated cost per sample of $5-6 USD. The bid is due on October 10, 2025, at 2:00 pm CST, with the contract commencing upon issuance and expiring upon delivery and final acceptance by TPWD. The procurement includes installation and on-site training by a Bio-Rad Field Service Engineer and Technical Expert, with pricing to be FOB destination and include all shipping and freight charges.

The solicitation allows for potential preferences for Texas-based businesses, with specific considerations for businesses owned by service-disabled veterans. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement includes various certifications and compliance requirements related to state and federal regulations. The bid appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and delivery requirements. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed technical requirements suggest a substantial investment in advanced scientific equipment. The procurement process incorporates potential preferences for local businesses, potentially providing advantages to Texas-based vendors, particularly those owned by service-disabled veterans. The comprehensive nature of the system and the specific technical requirements indicate a sophisticated procurement aimed at enhancing the analytical capabilities of the TPWD's Inland Fisheries Division.
