Description
The University of Washington Procurement Services intends to award a sole‑source contract to Oxford Nanopore Technologies for DNA/RNA sequencing instrumentation and related consumables, software, and technical support. The university seeks to maintain continuity of its existing Nanopore platform, avoid disruption to ongoing research, and ensure compatibility with established protocols and longitudinal data sets.
• Procurement includes sequencing instruments (e.g., MinION/GridION), proprietary flow cells, library‑prep kits, software licences, and maintenance/technical support.
• The award will be made without competition; vendors are only required to submit capability statements within five working days of the posting.
• Contact for questions and submissions is Kassy Ellefson at the UW Procurement Services office.
