About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Plains Area office awarded a $6,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Jonah Ventures, LLC for DNA barcoding analysis of cattle fecal samples. The contract, awarded on March 21, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2016, represents a focused molecular biology service supporting livestock-related research or monitoring. Jonah Ventures, a small business based in Boulder, Colorado, specializes in environmental DNA (eDNA) sequencing and bioinformatic analysis, leveraging expertise in DNA extraction, amplification, and genetic processing to deliver actionable research insights. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement.
This award aligns with Jonah Ventures' established capabilities in fecal-based genetic analysis and its track record supporting federal agencies including the U.S. Geological Survey, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and other research-focused federal entities. The contractor's core competency in extracting and analyzing DNA from fecal samples—work that supports applications ranging from species identification to diet reconstruction—made it well-suited for this cattle-focused genomic analysis task. The relatively modest contract value and compressed performance timeline suggest this represents a discrete analytical project supporting USDA's livestock research, disease surveillance, or genetic characterization objectives.
