The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Laboratory Services Division is seeking a sole-source service agreement for Qiagen laboratory instruments with a proposal due July 23, 2026. The procurement covers authorized preventive maintenance, repair services, and technical support for six pieces of specialized genomic-surveillance equipment: one QIAxcel, four QIAcuity Eight units, and two EZ2 units, each identified by serial number.

The sole-source justification rests on the proprietary nature of the equipment and the manufacturer's requirement that only Qiagen-certified engineers and original parts be used to maintain operational capability and meet quality control metrics required for laboratory testing. Service interruption would prevent operational use until Qiagen recertifies the instruments; third-party servicing is not permitted. Qiagen, LLC is the identified vendor.

The contract term runs from July 31, 2026 through April 22, 2031 — five years. The estimated total contract value is $325,000 over the life of the agreement, structured as pay-in-advance. Historical pricing data supports that service costs have remained consistent across the instrument lifecycle, accounting for inflation, with no undisclosed charges when scope is maintained.

The service agreement includes annual minimum preventive maintenance cadence and unplanned repair services. Alexandria Rossheim is the program contact; Shannon Matzinger serves as Program Manager. Performance is at laboratory facilities in Denver.
