About this forecast
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is forecasting a new requirement for HIVE Dragen Appliance Software, with an estimated solicitation release date of May 1, 2026, and an anticipated award date of September 1, 2026. The procurement involves the Illumina DRAGEN Appliance, which utilizes field-programmable gate array (FPGA) based technology to provide hardware acceleration for genomics analysis, including BCL conversion, mapping, alignment, sorting, duplicate marking, and haplotype variant calling. The DRAGEN Bio-IT Platform software leverages FPGA acceleration to rapidly detect genomic variants with high sensitivity and specificity across whole genomes, whole exomes, targeted panels, germline and somatic datasets, and RNA sequencing applications.
The estimated award value for this contract ranges from $25,000 to $250,000, classified under NAICS code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). The DRAGEN Appliance significantly accelerates genomics processing, completing analysis of a human genome with 30x coverage in approximately 25 minutes compared to overnight processing on traditional systems. Inquiries regarding this opportunity should be directed to the FDA's acquisition mailbox at cberacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov.
