About this file
This is Amendment 0001 to Solicitation 140G0326R0005, issued by USGS OAG Sacramento Acquisition Branch, effective August 31, 2026. The amendment serves as a Questions and Answers document addressing vendor inquiries regarding an Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) database management contract.
The solicitation concerns database curation and management services for viral genotyping data. Key technical details include: the current database contains approximately 3,000 data entries with roughly 400 samples being added annually from the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center and partner organizations (Northwest Indian Fish Commission and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife). The genotyping utilizes a 303 nucleotide mid-G region of the IHNV sequence, with RNA extraction and PCR fragment generation followed by Sanger or next-generation sequencing analysis. The current database is maintained as a large Excel file containing metadata and associated genotyped sequences. The contractor is expected to update and maintain this existing in-house database as the primary source of curated information, with future system development plans being desirable but outside the financial scope of this contract. Training requirements include provision for up to two WFRC staff members to be trained as needed when system changes are implemented. The due date for quotes remains September 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. PDT. The period for submitting questions has closed. Amendment point of contact is Elizabeth Adam (elizabeth_adam@ios.doi.gov).

The purpose of this amendment is to answer vendor questions. The period for questions is closed, and no further questions will be accepted. The due date for quotes remains the same, September 8, 2026, at 10:00am PDT.
1. How many data entries are currently in the database? approximately 3000
2. How many samples need to be added to the database from recent years? How many samples per year are being added Approximately 400. The number per year is not a set number but varies depending on field events and how many virus isolates our fish health partners to send in for genotyping.
3. Shall the previously used database stay in place? Or should the deliverables include a plan for long term database plan which may include development of a new structure/system?
At this point we are aiming to update the current in-house excel database that has been in place for many years. That database will continue to be our main source of curated information. Future plans for any new system are desirable but beyond the financial scope of this contract.
4. Where (what lab) is the genotyping data being produced currently? The majority of genotyping is done at our lab, the USGS Western
Fisheries Research Center, where the genotyping program originated and has been hosted since the 1990s. We also occasionally get isolate metadata and genotyped sequences from partners at the Northwest Indian Fish Commission and
Oregon Department fo Fish and Wildlife.
5. What technology is being used for that?
Microarray? Sanger sequencing? Next generation sequencing? Other? RNA is extracted from each virus isolate and a fragment containing the midG sequence is generated by
PCR. The genotype consensus sequences are generated by Sanger or NGS either in-house or by sending the PCR fragement to a commercial sequencing service. Metadata is tracked using the in-house database that also contains the sequence generated. and the designated genotype number.

6. What is the size of each genotype that will be added or produced? Is it the full IHNV sequence or just select regions? IHNV genotypes have been established in North
America using a 303 nt mid-G region that is a variable region in the virus glycoprotein (G) gene. This short region has proven robust in comparison with phylogenies based on complete G genes (1610 nt) or full genomes ( ~ 11,132 nt).
It is the only sequence that facilitates phylogenetic analyses with archive of genotype data for over 3000 virus isolates that represent IHNV in all of North America.
7. What database engine does the current database use (e.g., PostgreSQL, mySQL, etc.)?
The current database is a large excel file containing all metadata associated with isolates and the genotyped sequence that is associated with each isolate.
8. How many WFRC staff need to be trained annually to conduct the IHNV typing? Once staff are trained they do not need to be trained annually but as needed when any changes in the system need to be implemented. Optimally there should be two staff members who are trained to conduct the IHNV genotyping.
