Emergency Finals Costs-Emergency Notice-DFS-Tecan Robot Repairs-SLB

This is an emergency procurement by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office on behalf of the Illinois State Police Division of Forensic Services laboratory. The procurement is for the emergency repair of three Tecan robots used by the laboratory, which must remain accredited and in compliance with mandatory FBI Quality Assurance Standards. Tecan, the original equipment manufacturer, was selected as the sole source vendor due to their ISO certification and unique capabilities to perform the specialized repairs in a timely manner to restore the robots to an operational state. The estimated cost of the emergency contract is $97,432.08 with a term of 90 days, and the work is expected to be completed by February 12, 2021. The funding for this procurement will come from other agency funds, not state appropriated funds or federal grants.

This appears to be a sole source procurement with Tecan, as the original equipment manufacturer, being the only qualified vendor capable of performing the required repairs to the laboratory's Tecan robots in the necessary timeframe to maintain accreditation and compliance. No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are mentioned, as this is an emergency procurement from a sole source vendor. The current contract value is $97,432.08, but no additional budget ranges or award values are provided.
