About this opportunity
This solicitation has been cancelled as of June 29, 2026. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service issued Solicitation 1232SA26Q0824, a Total Small Business Set-Aside RFQ for genome sequencing services, with quotations due July 1, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET. Amendment 0001, issued June 24, adjusted the period of performance to July 13, 2026 through July 12, 2027 and revised the Performance Work Statement and QASP.
Place of performance is the NEA Animal Genomics and Improvement facility (Building 005, Room 306, BARC-WEST) in Beltsville, Maryland. The NAICS code is 541380, Testing Laboratories and Services; the small business size standard is $19 million.
The scope requires long-read DNA sequencing using Oxford Nanopore Technologies and Pacific Biosciences on 82 cattle across four projects: an immuno-diverse Holstein pangenome (45 cattle requiring 100 Gb minimum read with N50 ≥50kb), a dairy breed-specific pangenome across five breeds (25 animals requiring 150 Gb minimum ONT plus one PacBio SMRT cell per breed), DNA methylation profiling across 15 tissues in six Holstein dairy cows, and complete genome assembly of one Angus with DNA methylation profiling across six tissues in six Angus cattle. Raw data files (pod5 and bam) and processed data (fastq) must be transferred to the Government Technical Monitor within 12 weeks of sample receipt. The contract is firm fixed price with one-year performance. Payment is in arrears via the Department of Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform on a monthly basis for accepted items only.
