The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Biospyder Technologies, Inc., a small business manufacturer, to provide high-throughput transcriptomics (HTTR) services in support of the agency's National Center for Computational Toxicology. The $25 million single-award IDC enables EPA to issue task orders for Biospyder to conduct next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and data management of cell and tissue samples to evaluate the impact of environmental exposures on gene expression.
Under this IDC, Biospyder has received multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders to sequence and analyze thousands of samples using its proprietary Tempo-Seq targeted RNA sequencing technology. The work is performed at Biospyder's facilities in Carlsbad, California and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. In addition to the IDC, Biospyder has also received grants from the National Institutes of Health to further develop its Tempo-Seq and Tempo-LINC platforms for various biomedical research applications. The EPA contract supports the agency's mission to understand and mitigate environmental impacts on public health.
