About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract to Clear Labs, Inc. for the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to procure two additional Clear Dx System LR-SR instruments, along with service coverage, installation, training, shipping, packaging, and Clear Dx System reagents and consumables. The Clear Dx system is a fully automated platform capable of performing rapid, integrated whole genome sequencing of both SARS-CoV-2 and bacterial isolates, which is essential for IDPH's real-time genomic surveillance and public health response needs. IDPH currently operates two Clear Dx instruments and needs to expand capacity to meet increasing demands for high-throughput molecular testing and genomic analysis. The total not-to-exceed value of this one-year contract, with no renewal options, is $1,632,476. IDPH has determined the pricing is fair and reasonable based on prior purchases, and the inability to procure these specialized instruments would significantly impact the department's ability to conduct real-time genomic surveillance and respond effectively to public health emergencies.

This procurement is a sole source, as the Clear Dx system is the only platform capable of fully automating the entire next-generation sequencing workflow, and Clear Labs, Inc. is the sole manufacturer and authorized supplier of the system and its proprietary reagents in the United States. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a sole source procurement. The incumbent vendor is Clear Labs, Inc., and there is no existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is not to exceed $1,632,476.
