Qiagen DNA analysis consumables

The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is requesting bids for Qiagen DNA analysis consumables under IFB, with bids due July 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. and questions due July 21, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Offerors must be registered South Carolina vendors and hold mandatory authorization as an authorized Qiagen LLC consumables reseller — the core eligibility filter.

The scope includes EZ1 Investigator Kits (120 units estimated), G2 Buffer (10 units estimated), ATL Buffer (5 units estimated), Rotor Adaptors (6 units estimated), 1000uL Wide Bore Tips, and eight shipments of shipping and handling. All products must be supplied by an authorized Qiagen reseller. South Carolina preferences for resident vendors, resident contractors, and in-state or U.S. end products apply where properly claimed and certified. Pricing must be fixed for the contract duration, exclude sales and use taxes, and include all costs associated with performance.

The contract term runs one year from the estimated start date of August 22, 2026 through August 21, 2027. No estimated total contract value is stated; quantities are listed as estimates only, and the State does not guarantee specific purchase amounts. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder based on unit prices for each line item, which govern over extended prices. A single offeror will receive the award.

Payment is made by electronic funds transfer after submission of proper invoices. No pre-bid conference or site visit is required. Award notification will be posted July 31, 2026. The State reserves the right to cancel the solicitation, reject any offers, or source supplies separately for unusual requirements or large quantities.
