About this opportunity
The State of Oregon is issuing a sole source notice for DNA analysis services, with the notice period closing November 14, 2024. This is not a competitive procurement — only one vendor has been identified as capable of meeting the requirement.
The City of Portland Police Bureau Detectives Division — specifically the Sex Crimes Unit and Homicide Cold Case Unit — is seeking to procure DNA evidence testing, analysis, and forensic investigative genetic genealogy services exclusively from Bode Technology. The services will support processing of sexual assault kits and DNA evidence from cold cases. Bode Technology's qualification rests on its unique capability to provide forensic investigative genetic genealogy services, including uploading results to the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), combined with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and ability to deliver rush DNA testing and rapid analysis to meet critical investigative deadlines. Bode Technology is the current laboratory provider for the Oregon State Police; utilizing the same vendor will streamline result processing and eliminate duplicate submission work between agencies. The vendor offers in-house targeted and whole genome sequencing capabilities and expert testimony availability.
The procurement is established under Portland City Code 5.33.120.A. No pre-bid meeting will be held. Specific pricing, contract term, and funding amounts are not detailed in the sole source justification. Interested parties adversely affected by the award have seven days from issuance of this notice to file a protest with the Chief Procurement Officer.
