Description
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation Forensic Services is seeking a sole source authorization for the maintenance and service of their Hamilton Robotics STARlet instruments. The STARlet instruments are used for the liquid-handling PCR set-up step of the DNA profiling process, and only Hamilton Robotics' personnel are factory-trained and authorized to provide service. The agency is requesting a service agreement and preventative maintenance for the instruments, which will provide regular maintenance and fast, reliable service. The agency has been using Hamilton Robotics instrumentation for eight years and has found that it is the only organization that can provide authorized services for the STARlet instruments.
Some key points to consider:
• The agency is seeking a sole source authorization, which means that they are requesting to purchase the services from a single vendor, Hamilton Robotics.
• The STARlet instruments are used for a critical step in the DNA profiling process, and the agency requires reliable and efficient service to ensure that they can meet their statutory requirements.
• The agency has a long history of working with Hamilton Robotics and has found that their services are essential to their operations.
• The estimated cost of the services is $500,000.00, and the agency is requesting a service agreement that will cover the period from 07/01/26 to 06/30/29.
