EM - LYNX II Digital Signal Analyzers - SM

The State of Illinois Department of Energy and Commerce, Division of Nuclear Safety (IEMA-OHS), is issuing a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to Mirion Technologies for LYNX II Digital Signal Analyzers, with a comment period deadline of October 21, 2026. A public hearing will proceed only if an interested party submits written comments or requests a hearing by that date.

The procurement is sole-source based on patent and copyright restrictions: the Lynx II's proprietary integration with Mirion's Genie and Apex Gamma software operates under strict QA/QC and regulatory compliance requirements, and no resellers or compatible alternative multichannel analyzers are available within the Mirion software environment. The scope covers five Lynx-II Digital Signal Analyzers and two Lynx-II rack mount kits with 19-inch rack mount trays and hardware. The equipment will transition the laboratory's ten gamma detectors from first-generation Lynx models to second-generation Lynx-II systems. This is a one-time purchase with no renewal options.

The total contract value is $114,221, with individual Lynx-II units quoted at $22,501 each. Pricing was validated against historical purchases (ranging from $19,800 to $21,845 per unit in prior years) and competitor pricing from Ortec. Funding derives from State Appropriated Funds. The required delivery date is June 30, 2027. Future support will be provided through Mirion's maintenance and repair contract, with newly procured units to be added to existing service agreements.

Mirion Technologies must provide an active Illinois Procurement Gateway vendor registration and execute the required vendor disclosure documentation, including certification of no forced-labor exploitation and disclosure of all current and pending contracts with State of Illinois government entities.
