About this file
Attachment J3 is an example price proposal for a Library of Congress (LOC) solicitation (RFP 030ADV25R0036) for Synthetic DNA Data Storage. The document outlines a proposed Contract Line Item (CLIN) structure with three primary CLINs: Project Reporting Deliverables (CLIN 0001), Synthetic DNA Encoding and Sequencing (CLIN 0002), and Ceremonial Storage Vials (CLIN 0003). The base contract period runs from 8/25/25 to 8/24/26, with deliverables including formal reports on testing, validation, DNA sequencing, and bi-weekly project updates, as well as encoding 1.5GB of diverse digital data (video, audio, text, images) onto synthetic DNA.
The pricing structure includes a detailed schedule of payments, with each CLIN having specific payment conditions tied to Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) receipt and acceptance. The payment percentages are distributed across deliverables, with Synthetic DNA components receiving the largest portions (40% and 25%). Key pricing assumptions include all-inclusive costs, custom shipping of DNA, and vial customization expenses. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using synthetic DNA for long-term digital data preservation, with a subset of data to be preserved in ceremonial vials for the United States semi-quincentennial celebration. Proposals are to be submitted in a two-step process, with Phase I submissions due by 6/20/25 at 2 PM Eastern Time.
