The Centralized Omic REsource for TOPMed (CORE) Master IDIQ is a $505 million federal contract vehicle awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to support advanced genomic research and precision medicine initiatives. The contract vehicle provides comprehensive omics services, including whole genome sequencing, DNA methylation analysis, RNA expression profiling, and metabolite screening. Its primary objective is to discover factors influencing disease risk, identify disease subtypes, and develop more targeted treatments for heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders through sophisticated molecular and genetic research methodologies.

Task orders under this IDIQ primarily target top-tier research institutions such as The Broad Institute, University of Washington, Baylor College of Medicine, and the New York Genome Center. Typical delivery orders range from approximately $2.9 million to $36.4 million, with performance periods spanning two to three years. All task orders are firm fixed-price contracts without set-aside designations, indicating open competition among qualified research institutions. The primary performance locations appear to be in research-intensive regions including Bethesda, Maryland; Boston, Massachusetts; Houston, Texas; and Seattle, Washington. The contracts consistently support the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program, generating comprehensive genomic and molecular data resources for the scientific community.
