The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a civilian agency under the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Azenta US Inc., doing business as Brooks Life Sciences Inc., to provide DNA sequencing services to support the agency's research into environmental health and disease mechanisms.
The $1.875 million contract, awarded on November 27, 2019 with a period of performance through August 31, 2025, includes multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders for DNA sequencing, sample storage and preservation, and related bioinformatics services. The work will be performed primarily in Morrisville, North Carolina and South Plainfield, New Jersey. While the original contract solicitation was set aside for small businesses, subsequent delivery order awards have not utilized any set-asides. The contract and associated task orders aim to provide the NIEHS with rapid, cost-effective DNA sequencing capabilities to further its investigations into the genetic and environmental factors influencing human health and disease.
