Ohio public health laboratory seeks LIMS for whole-genome sequencing workflows

The Ohio Department of Health is seeking a LIMS to support whole-genome sequencing workflows at its public health laboratory. - Government buyer: Ohio Department of Health (ODH), Bureau of Public Health Laboratory (ODHL). - Requested solution: Laboratory information management system (LIMS) software for sample tracking and workflow management; no OEM, product, part number, or quantity is specified. - Workflows supported: Whole-genome sequencing of clinical isolates from foodborne pathogens (Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Shigella, Vibrio, Campylobacter, and Listeria), Norovirus, antimicrobial-resistant hospital-acquired pathogens (Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Citrobacter, and Morganella), Mycobacterium tuberculosis for predicted antimicrobial drug resistance, and SARS-CoV-2. The laboratory also sequences wastewater samples to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants. - Named OEMs and vendors: None. - Notable requirement: The proposed LIMS should support the laboratory's varied clinical and wastewater sequencing sample-tracking and workflow needs.

Description

The Ohio Department of Health’s Bureau of Public Health Laboratory seeks LIMS software for sample tracking and workflow management for whole genome sequencing. The laboratory sequences clinical isolates for multiple bacterial and viral pathogens, antimicrobial-resistant hospital-acquired pathogens, tuberculosis, and SARS-CoV-2, as well as wastewater samples to identify SARS-CoV-2 variants. Proposals must include both technical and cost proposals, and every tab in the Excel cost form must be completed. This is a repost due to an administrative posting error; the RFP specifications have not changed.
