About this opportunity
The Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, is approving sole source authorization for the Idaho State Police to procure Qiagen DNA instruments and reagents, with the notice closing August 31, 2026 and a five-business-day challenge window thereafter under Idaho Code section 67-9232(4).
This is a sole source procurement with no competitive bidding. The Division of Purchasing Administrator has determined that Qiagen is the only vendor qualified to provide the specified property. Interested vendors may challenge the sole source determination by August 31, 2026 by submitting notice to purchasing@adm.idaho.gov.
The scope covers Qiagen EZ1/EZ2 DNA Investigator Kits, extraction consumables, reagents, buffers, proteinase K, collection tubes, filter tips, and supporting materials for the Idaho State Police Forensic Services validated extraction system used in DNA sample processing. The procurement includes 48 units of the EZ1/EZ2 DNA Investigator Kits.
The anticipated total contract value is $750,000 over a five-year term beginning in fiscal year 2027. The Idaho State Police justified sole source status on grounds that Qiagen is the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of the proprietary EZ1/EZ2 DNA Investigator Kit with no viable alternatives; switching vendors would require thousands of dollars in validation costs and months of testing that would interrupt DNA testing operations. Prior sole source authorizations (SSA16057-02 from 2018, SSA21025 from 2021, and SSA21025-01 renewal from November 2023) support continuity of this procurement. The requestor is Olivia Sorenson, Idaho State Police Forensic Services (208-884-7033, olivia.sorenson@isp.idaho.gov).
