INPC Chemical Analysis of Leaf Tissue Samples

The state of Illinois has posted a small purchase contract opportunity with sole source conditions for the chemical analysis of 25 leaf tissue samples. The scope of work requires the successful contractor to analyze the samples for the presence and concentration of specific plant growth regulators and pre-emergent herbicides, providing results by June 30, 2023. The analysis must adhere to strict limits of quantification measured in parts per billion, and the findings must be delivered in a comprehensive report format. No details are provided on pricing terms, set-asides, or other procurement conditions beyond the technical requirements for the laboratory services.

The contract does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state's standard terms and conditions document is attached, which outlines requirements for payment procedures, assignment and subcontracting, auditing, confidentiality, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. While an incumbent vendor is not specified, the sole source designation suggests this may be a continuation of an existing arrangement. The total contract value or budget range is not disclosed in the available information.
