Automated DNA Analysis System

The government authority in Hawaii requires a vendor to provide a complete automated DNA analysis system. The vendor must deliver a system capable of automated gel-based DNA size selection, recovery of selected DNA, and compatibility with next-generation sequencing workflows. The system needs pulsed-field electrophoresis or equivalent capability, fragment-length analysis up to at least 80 kb, and fluorometric or equivalent DNA quantification. Additional requirements include independent sample lane processing, pre-prepared gel cassettes, preservation of unused lanes for later runs, and all operating and analysis software and hardware. The vendor must also provide installation, setup, calibration, and customer training. Eligible bidders must be an onshore USA organization. The contractor will perform the work offsite. Bidders must submit proposals digitally through email or online, and the buyer requests pricing proposals as part of the submission. The provided text omits specific evaluation criteria and key dates.
