About this opportunity
The Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), specifically the Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Contracting Department located in Groton, Connecticut, published Special Notice N0018926QG013 on January 21, 2026. This notice announces the Navy's intention to award a sole source purchase order to Yale University's Center for Genome Analysis (YCGA) for RNA-Seq and gene expression analysis services. The acquisition will be conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13 and Other Than Full and Open Competition as authorized by FAR 6.302-1. The estimated period of performance extends from January 5, 2026, through June 30, 2026, with an anticipated award date of February 13, 2026. This notice is classified under NAICS code 621511 (Medical Laboratories) and PSC code B537 (Special Studies/Analysis-Medical/Health).
The Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL) seeks genome analysis services to investigate potential biomarkers associated with behavioral responses indicative of cognitive fatigue, with the goal of informing interventions to improve warfighter health and performance during operational deployments. The estimated contract value is $49,898.92 and includes RNA-seq library preparation, NovaSeq X Plus 25B sequencing, and small and large batch analysis services. Yale YCGA has been identified as the sole source capable of satisfying NSMRL's requirements due to alignment with government-approved research protocols, possession of existing research data and protocols from the predecessor contract, physical proximity to minimize sample degradation, and the criticality of maintaining research data integrity. Interested parties wishing to challenge this sole source determination must submit written challenges to sharon.j.dexter.civ@us.navy.mil by the response deadline of February 3, 2026, providing sufficient information demonstrating that an equivalent service exists. The government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to compete this procurement based on challenges received.
