About this opportunity
The Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab Division issued a Request for Information on June 3, 2026 for compact, high-throughput automated liquid handling systems for CODIS laboratory use, with RFI submissions due July 21, 2026. This is informational only and does not constitute a binding procurement commitment, request for proposal, or invitation for bid; respondents are not considered bidders and will not receive preference or advantage in any subsequent procurement.
The system must feature a compact design with maximum dimensions of 52 inches long by 31 inches wide by 39 inches high, support pipetting volumes down to 20 microliters or less, and accommodate tubes, plates, and troughs on a customizable deck. Core capability requirements include transfer of fluid from single 2 mL source tubes into standard 96-well PCR plates and support for multichannel pipetting of up to 8 rows simultaneously while maintaining throughput and processing capabilities equivalent to existing large-scale platforms.
Respondents must address 13 specific technical questions covering instrument dimensions, deck configuration, tip requirements, volume ranges, processing time, software compatibility with Laboratory Information Management Systems (specifically STaCs), and GSA contract availability, and must include a timetable for product configuration, deployment, testing, and acceptance. Respondents may be required to provide product demonstrations or presentations at their own expense following the submission deadline. Respondents' staff must be able to pass background checks to access DPS data for server or cloud-based installation and maintenance.
Questions and clarifications are due June 25, 2026, with responses to clarifications due July 7, 2026. Respondents must register as vendors in the TXDPS Online Bid Room and submit responses electronically through that portal. Submissions become TXDPS property and will not be returned. Materials marked confidential or proprietary must be clearly identified with specific pages and justification under the Texas Public Information Act; blanket confidentiality claims are not acceptable. The TXDPS will not reimburse costs incurred in preparing submissions or demonstrations.
