About this award
This contract award represents a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call issued by the Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs to Othram Inc., a small disadvantaged business specializing in forensic genetic genealogy services. The $436,326 firm fixed-price call, awarded on May 29, 2024, with completion targeted for July 6, 2025, will deliver forensic services in support of the Office of Justice Services Missing and Murdered Unit (MMU) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This call operates under the parent $1M BPA established September 8, 2022, through September 6, 2027, designated as a total small business set-aside. Othram's services include advanced forensic DNA testing, genome sequencing, genealogical research, evidence digitization, and related investigative support capabilities designed to assist law enforcement in resolving complex missing persons and criminal cases.
Othram Inc., headquartered in The Woodlands, Texas, has established itself as a specialized provider of forensic genetic genealogy services across multiple federal agencies since its registration as a federal contractor in January 2020. The company's contract portfolio demonstrates extensive experience with the Department of the Interior, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the Air Force Research Laboratory. In addition to this BPA call, Othram maintains a $475K General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract through September 2027, which provides a framework for federal agencies to rapidly access its forensic DNA extraction, genome sequencing, genealogical research, and expert witness capabilities. The tiered pricing structure under the GSA contract reflects the complexity of services, ranging from DNA extraction services ($477 to over $1,000) to genome sequencing ($2,300 to over $5,000 depending on standard or expedited analysis requirements).
