About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Procurement Operations is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) on environmental microbial microflora differentiation between cities, with responses due by May 28, 2026. This is market research only and does not constitute a procurement commitment or obligation for future award.
DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office seeks industry capability and technical input across four primary areas: identification of knowledge gaps in metagenomic sequencing data for domestic microbial microflora and fauna; benefits of metagenomic sequencing methods to differentiate between U.S. cities, primarily BioWatch locations; development and execution of metagenomic baselines in select U.S. cities accounting for geographical, seasonal, diurnal/nocturnal, and weather conditions; and analysis of environmental background data to determine trends and impacts on current and future PCR- and sequencing-based biological threat detection activities.
Responses must be submitted electronically in .docx format to Ariana Thompson, Contract Specialist, at Ariana.Thompson@hq.dhs.gov, limited to 10 pages including cover page. Minimum requirements include company information (name, phone, UEI, CAGE Code, POC, website), GSA contract numbers and socioeconomic status, capability descriptions, previous independent testing experience, teaming or subcontracting plans, period of performance feasibility, proposed method, timeline, cost estimate, and other relevant acquisition-strategy information. The Government will not reimburse response or demonstration expenses, and all submitted information becomes Government property. Proprietary information must be minimized and clearly marked.
NAICS 541715 (R&D in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences). PSC AJ12 (General Science and Technology R&D Services).
