About this opportunity

The U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Acquisitions and Grants, is procuring multi-endpoint gene regulatory assays to evaluate cellular responses to organic chemicals extracted from groundwater samples in petroleum hydrocarbon contaminant plumes, with proposals due August 11. This is a non-competitive sole-source procurement under FAR 12.201-1; the Government intends to award to Attagene, Inc., though in accordance with RFO 5.101c(4)(vi), all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation for consideration.

Place of performance is USGS Office, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS-153, Reston, Virginia. The contract is firm, fixed-price with a base year and four option years, analyzing approximately 10 samples annually. Period of performance runs August 24, 2026 through August 23, 2027, with delivery required by June 14, 2027. The NAICS code is 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) with a size standard of $19.5 million; PSC is B529 (Special Studies/Analysis–Scientific Data). Award value is not disclosed. Attagene is deemed the only reasonably available source because no other entity has a comparable suite of assays in high-throughput format with quality control data; Attagene has generated data for thousands of individual chemicals publicly available in the U.S. EPA's ACTOR database, necessary for prioritization and identification of contaminants in the samples. Vendors must register at SAM.gov. Contracting officer is Daniel Galvin; contact Susan Ruggles at sruggles@usgs.gov.

Notice text

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center, plans to award a non-competitive purchase order to Attagene, Inc. (Attagene) for multi-endpoint gene regulatory assays to evaluate cellular responses to organic chemicals extracted from groundwater samples in petroleum hydrocarbon contaminant plumes. The anticipated contract will be firm, fixed-price with a base year and four option years to analyze approximate 10 samples annually.

Attagene is the only source reasonably available based on the following. 1) No other entity is known that has comparable suite of assays or publicly available data associated with it. While the assays may be available individually, high-throughput format and quality control data are not available for those assays. 2) Attagene has already generated data for thousands of individual chemicals, and these data are publicly available in US EPA¿s database (actor.epa.gov) and are necessary for prioritization of contaminants in our samples and will aid our identification of chemicals responsible for toxicity.


In accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 5.101c(4)(vi), all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal or quotation which shall be considered by the agency; however, THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 12.201-1.

The North American Classification System (NAICS) code is 541990. The size standard is $19.5 million.
