PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

DNA Sequencing and Data Interpretation for Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Libraries

1. INTRODUCTION: The Engineer Research and Development Center – Construction Engineering Research

Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) is leading several projects that utilize molecular tools, specifically environmental DNA (eDNA), to survey for endangered, at-risk and invasive species and whole community biodiversity on military and related lands. ERDC-CERL seeks support for DNA sequencing of DNA metabarcoding samples, to include quality control and data interpretation. ERDC-CERL will be responsible for sample collection and preparation of sequence libraries (adaptors ligated and indexed). The Contractor shall provide consultation for determining optimal sequencing strategy/platform and quality controls for prepared libraries prior to sequencing, perform library quality control, DNA sequencing, and demultiplexing of sequence libraries, and assist with data interpretation and troubleshooting.

2. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this effort is to derive DNA sequence data for a suite of environmental DNA projects that survey for endangered, at-risk and invasive species and whole community biodiversity on military and related lands. The Contractor shall provide consultation for determining optimal sequencing strategy/platform and quality controls for prepared libraries prior to sequencing, perform library quality control, DNA sequencing, and demultiplexing of sequence libraries, and assist with data interpretation and troubleshooting. The resulting data will be incorporated into reporting to installation and DoD sponsors regarding distribution of focal species on military installations.

In reference to DFARS Clauses 252.204-7012 & 252.204-7020 this effort is not considered to include any covered defense information.

3. MAJOR REQUIREMENTS: In order to accomplish the above objective, the Contractor shall complete the following tasks:

a. Task 1. Determination of optimal sequencing strategy and quality controls. The Contractor shall provide consultation for determining optimal sequencing strategies and quality controls needed to meet ERDC-CERL project objectives. Any information pertaining to sequence libraries (e.g., amplicon length, DNA concentration, target loci, indexes, preparation method, sample-size) needed for the Contractor to assist with this task shall be provided by ERDC-CERL. All planning-level sequencing and quality control strategies shall be discussed and decided via e-mail, phone, web conference, and/or in-person meetings between the Contractor and ERDC-CERL. The contractor shall ensure next-day frozen secured shipping of irreplaceable prepared DNA libraries with updates on shipping status, confirmation of samples received, and estimated sequencing timeframe communicated back to ERDC-CERL upon receipt of samples.

b. Task 2. Quality check of prepared sequence libraries. The Contractor shall perform a quality check for each library provided prior to DNA sequencing. Quality checks shall include a fragment analysis and qPCR to validate fragment length distribution and Illumina adaptors, respectively. Should the fragment analysis reveal nontarget bands, the Contractor will assist in a further library cleanup. The Contractor shall provide a report detailing the results of the quality check to ERDC-CERL prior to DNA sequencing before proceeding with sequencing. The Contractor shall provide recommended troubleshooting actions based on any abnormalities identified in quality check report and subsequent changes to sequencing strategies shall be discussed and decided prior to sequencing via e-mail, phone, web conference, and/or in-person meetings between the Contractor and ERDC-CERL.

c. Task 3. DNA sequencing and demultiplexing of validated sequence libraries. After quality check validation (Task 2), the Contractor shall perform DNA sequencing on validated libraries. Eleven independent sequencing runs shall be performed with the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus platform using the 10B flowcell with paired-reads, 2x150 bp reagent chemistry. An additional three independent sequencing runs shall be performed with the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 using the SP flowcell with paired-reads, 2x250 bp reagent chemistry or the equivalent approach on an Illumina NovaSeq X Plus platform with flowcell and chemistry for paired-end sequencing 250 bp fragments. All resulting sequencing reads shall be demultiplexed by the Contractor and provided to ERDC-CERL along with a report detailing sequencing results (general statistics, read counts, quality scores, duplication, read lengths, adaptor content, etc.).

Results for each library should be received within one month of library shipment.

d. Task 4. Data interpretation and troubleshooting solutions for DNA sequence products. The

Contractor shall provide an interpretation and/or potential explanation of any sub-optimal sequence products. Any issues regarding sequence products and potential troubleshooting solutions shall be discussed via e-mail, phone, web conference, and/or in-person meetings between the Contractor and ERDC-CERL and will require additional troubleshooting and sequencing in the event of sequencing error.

4. GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED SUPPORT/INFORMATION/PROPERTY: Over the total period of this award the government will provide a total of fourteen (14) libraries to be sequenced that were constructed for previously collected environmental/biological samples. The exact timing of providing these is unknown but they will not all be provided at the same time. The government will provide as much advance notice as possible prior to providing each library and will keep the contractor informed of this at the progress teleconference meetings. Government project team members will be available to discuss optimal sequencing and quality control strategies, data interpretation, and troubleshooting.

5. CONTRACTING OFFICER’S REPRESENTATIVE (COR): The ERDC CERL COR for this task order will be appointed in accordance with DFARS 252.201-7000, and a copy of the designation letter will be provided to the Contractor. Although other Government personnel may clarify technical points or supply relevant information to the Contractor regarding this task order, only a Contracting Officer has the authority to revise any requirements in these specifications, including those resulting from verbal clarification. Only a warranted Contracting Officer (either a Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), or an Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)), acting within their delegated limits, has the authority to issue modifications or otherwise change the terms and conditions of this contract. If an individual other than the Contracting Officer attempts to make changes to the terms and conditions of this contract, you shall not proceed with the change and shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer.

The Government and the Contractor understand and agree that the services to be delivered under this contract by the Contractor to the Government are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee or master-servant relationship exists or will exist under the contract between the Government and the Contractor’s employees.

6. MEETINGS AND REVIEWS: The contractor shall attend the following:
