About this opportunity

The State of Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Laboratories is issuing a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to Clear Labs for service coverage and reagent supply for Clear Dx System LR-SR instruments, with a public comment deadline of September 4, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. The procurement is expressly sole source — no competitive bidding occurs — based on the proprietary nature of the Clear Dx platform and the exclusivity of compatible reagents, consumables, software, and service plans available only from Clear Labs.

The scope covers manufacturer-certified preventive maintenance, calibration, software updates, and repair support for four Clear Dx System LR-SR instruments located in Chicago and Springfield laboratories. The contract includes two proprietary reagent bundles: Clear Dx WGS SARS-CoV-2 Reagent v3.0 (220 units total at 110 units per year) and Clear Dx Microbial Surveillance WGS Reagent v2.0 (430 units total at 215 units per year), plus 20 shipments over two years at 10 per year. Instrument service plans range from $17,417.70 to $29,988.00 per unit per year; reagent bundles are priced at $3,688.00 per unit for SARS-CoV-2 and $2,000.00 per unit for Microbial Surveillance; and shipping is $400.00 per shipment.

The total contract value is $1,904,475.72 for a two-year term with contract period December 6, 2026 through December 5, 2028 and no renewal options. The State Purchasing Officer approved the sole source determination on August 25, 2026. The procurement is funded through federal funds. Prior purchases from Clear Labs dating to April 2023 total cumulative expenditures exceeding $4.4 million. A public hearing will be canceled unless an interested party submits written comments or a written request for public hearing by September 4, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.
