About this award
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a firm fixed-price definitive contract valued at $694,355 to Jonah Ventures, LLC, a small business specializing in environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing and analysis services. Under this contract, Jonah Ventures will process and sequence eDNA samples collected from marine environments to assess biodiversity, with performance scheduled through December 14, 2025. The work will be performed at the contractor's facility in Honolulu, Hawaii, and includes extracting DNA from water samples, conducting metabarcoding assays using PCR and Illumina sequencing technologies, and delivering sequencing data in FastQ format. The contract was awarded on September 15, 2020, following a competitive solicitation that required the contractor to demonstrate dedicated clean room facilities, specialized eDNA equipment, and capacity to process between 115 to 800 samples annually. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement.
The award encompasses a base period running through August 2021 with three optional one-year extension periods, structured to support NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center research initiatives. Recent contract activity indicates that funding for Option Year III was delayed due to Fiscal Year 2025 continuing resolution constraints and has now been fully funded with incorporation of the current version of Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.212-5. Jonah Ventures brings established capability in federal eDNA research support, having previously contracted with NOAA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Smithsonian Institution, and other federal agencies on similar environmental DNA analysis projects. The contractor's registered business size qualifies as small under the $15 million threshold applicable to biological testing and analysis services.
