About this file
This document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for a federal contract opportunity related to elemental analysis of soybean and maize samples. The USDA requires analysis of macro (N, P, K) and micronutrients (S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ze, Cu, B, Al, Na) in 989 whole soybean seed samples and 30-40g of soybean or maize biomass. The analysis must be performed using equipment certified by the North American Proficiency Testing Program, and a report of the results is due within 60 days of contract award.
The related federal contract opportunity is a request for quote (RFQ) under solicitation number 12505B24Q0080 for "Soybean and Maize Elemental Analysis." This is a small business set-aside with a NAICS code of 541714 - Research and Development in Biotechnology. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price contract based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method. Quotes are due by 2:00 PM Central Time on February 27, 2024.

Statement of Work Project: Soybean and Maize Elemental Analysis
Part I: General Information
A. Introduction:
We require elemental analysis of whole soybean and maize seeds and aboveground biomass. Plant material was harvested from ambient and elevated carbon dioxide concentration in the Soybean Free Air CO2 Enrichment (SoyFACE) experiment, and we need the concentrations of macro (N, P, K) and micronutrients (S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ze, Cu, B, Al, Na) measured in the seeds.
B. Background:
GCPRU aims to improve the response of crops to global atmospheric change, including rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Previous research has identified that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has a negative impact on seed quality, including micronutrient concentration. We have developed a recombinant inbred population to test how seed quality is related to yield response to elevated carbon dioxide in soybean. Additionally, we are testing samples that have been grown with amendment of basalt to the soil. The proposed work would allow us to map quantitative trait loci associated with micronutrient content and response to elevated CO2 in soybean and test how basalt and elevated CO2 impact nutritional quality in maize and soybean.
C. Scope:
The service is the analysis of the concentration of macro and micronutrients in whole soybean seeds. We have 989 whole seed samples that we would like to analyze and ~30- 40 g of seed or biomass for each sample. We require measurement of N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ze, Cu, B, Al, and Na.
Part II: Work Requirement
A. Technical Requirements:
We require analysis of N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ze, Cu, B, Al, and Na content in whole soybean seeds. Analysis must be done on 30-40 g of seed or biomass and be done by equipment that is certified by the North American Proficiency Testing Program.
B. Deliverables:
A report providing the results of the elemental analysis for each of the 989 samples is to be submitted by email within 60 days of award to “TBD at time of award”.
