About this opportunity
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting market research to identify qualified providers for eDNA metabarcoding analysis, with capability statements due August 5, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This sources-sought announcement is not a commitment to award and does not constitute a request for quote or proposal.
Work will be performed for the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center and involves analysis of 80 environmental DNA samples collected from the Yakima River in Washington using pump sampling and passive filter sampling methods. The contractor will conduct DNA extraction from MCE filters, PCR amplification using universal fish primers equivalent to Miya et al. (2015) multiplexed with custom lamprey primers to enhance detection of Petromyzontidae, Next-Generation Sequencing using contractor-selected NGS platforms, and bioinformatics processing with taxonomic assignment to species level at 97 percent nucleotide similarity threshold and genus- or family-level assignment for lower-similarity sequences. Analysis results will be compared against electrofishing data from the same collection locations.
NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) applies with a $19 million size standard. PSC B516 (Special Studies/Analysis—Animal/Fisheries) is assigned.
Capability statements limited to ten pages should be submitted by email to Contracting Officer Joahnne Ongjoco at Joahnne_Ongjoco@ios.doi.gov. Responses submitted by hardcopy or SAM web portal will not be accepted.
