The U.S. Geological Survey’s Eastern Ecological Science Center intends to award a non-competitive purchase order to Illumina in San Diego, CA for one Illumina MiSeq i100 Plus System. The system is needed to support high-priority genetics projects, including disease surveillance and species conservation, with delivery required 60 days after receipt of order. The Center requires this specific system for continuity of publishable data, as Illumina’s software, hardware, and consumables are proprietary and not cross-compatible with other manufacturers. This notice is for informational purposes only and is not a request for competitive proposals, though interested parties may submit capability statements. The anticipated contract will be firm fixed-price, with no budget amount specified.
