The Texas Valley Coastal Bend Healthcare System requires four Molecular Diagnostics Testing Systems for four specified laboratory locations in Harlingen, McAllen, Corpus Christi, and Laredo. The systems must use PCR techniques to identify pathogens and must be equivalent to or exceed the specifications of the Cepheid GeneXpert Express System, including all necessary software, hardware, support, and training. Technical questions must be submitted via email by 1:00 PM CST on 04/28/2026. Quotations will be evaluated based on technical merit and price reasonableness, with the government reserving the right to select an offer other than the lowest price if it provides additional benefit. Required submission documents include a detailed price quote, a description of the proposed instruments, compliance documentation, and an estimated delivery timeframe.
