How to bid on 10X Genomics GEN X Epi Multiome for Health and Human Services

What the agency is buying

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is seeking specific proprietary 10x Genomics products for multiomic sequencing. This includes the GEM-X Epi Multiome system for 16 samples, a four-chip kit, a Single Index Kit N Set A, and a 10x Magnetic Separator B. These items are essential for supporting multiomic sequencing workflows and must be compatible with existing 10x Genomics equipment and processes.

The products need to enable simultaneous epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling from the same biological sample. They must support high-throughput processing and utilize proprietary reagents to ensure data quality. The magnetic separation equipment must be specifically designed for 10x Genomics workflows to ensure efficient bead-based separation.
