About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service awarded a $143.8K firm-fixed-price purchase order to Molbreeding Biotechnology LLC for DNA extraction and genotyping services supporting cotton breeding research. The contract, awarded April 17, 2026, requires the contractor to process approximately 8,000 freeze-dried cotton leaf tissue samples and perform high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping using a fixed panel containing a minimum of 15,000 markers distributed across cotton chromosomes. The genotyping array must be optimized for U.S.-cultivated upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) and include appropriate quality control standards. Services will be performed at the contractor's facility in Raleigh, North Carolina, with delivery of comprehensive genotype data in tab-delimited or CSV format along with detailed quality control reports required by the April 6, 2027 completion date. This is an unrestricted procurement with no small business set-aside.
The solicitation was issued by USDA-ARS with a deadline of April 3, 2026, and was awarded on a lowest-price-technically-acceptable basis. The contract employs Service Contract Labor Standards with specified wage requirements and operates under a firm fixed-price structure with pricing guaranteed for 90 calendar days. Work must be completed in batches within 4-6 weeks per batch, with final delivery to the USDA-ARS Genomics and Bioinformatics Research Unit in Raleigh, North Carolina. Payment will be rendered in arrears through the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform upon delivery and acceptance of services.
