JPMC Mosquito Testing Equipment SS

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's Centralized Maintenance Services (CMS), in agreement with the Chief Procurement Officer-General Services (CPO-GS), is establishing a joint purchase master contract for mosquito testing equipment through a sole source procurement to ADAPCO, LLC dba Azelis Agriculture & Environmental Solutions. The equipment being procured includes the RAMP System, which encompasses RAMP Testing Equipment, RAMP Readers, RAMP 200s units, RAMP West Nile Virus Test Kits, and RAMP Dengue Test Kits, intended to serve city, county, state, and federal agencies throughout the United States. Response Biomedical Corp., the sole manufacturer of the RAMP System, has certified that ADAPCO is the only authorized distributor for these products to government entities. The notice of intent to award was posted on May 4, 2026, with a due date of May 20, 2026. Interested parties must submit written comments or requests for a public hearing by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, May 15, 2026, to Dianne Richman at the Chief Procurement Office for General Services via email at Dianne.Richman@illinois.gov or by phone at 217-622-1857. A public hearing is scheduled for May 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via WebEx, accessible through US Toll numbers 1-312-535-8110 (Chicago) or 1-415-655-0002, and will be canceled unless written comments are submitted or a hearing is requested by the deadline.

The sole source procurement methodology eliminates the need for competitive bidding, as Response Biomedical Corp.'s exclusive manufacturing status and ADAPCO's exclusive distributor authorization justify the single-source award designation. No set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types responding to this procurement are mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, though the contract is designed to support multiple government jurisdictions. No specific pricing information, contract term details, renewal options, or budget amounts are provided in the available solicitation documents. The Chief Procurement Officer retains authority to approve or deny the procurement method following consideration of all testimony presented at the hearing, with both oral and written comments afforded equal weight in the decision-making process.
