About this forecast
The Food and Drug Administration seeks to procure a platform high throughput metagenomics sequencing system, specifically an Aviti Element system, to evaluate its potential as a replacement for current Illumina high throughput systems. This new requirement will support critical technology evaluation for genomic food safety applications within the agency's WGS (whole genome sequencing) specialist team. The solicitation is forecasted for release on May 1, 2026, with an estimated award date of August 1, 2026.
The estimated award value ranges from $250,000 to $700,000 under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). This procurement is currently entered as an unfunded zero dollar requisition pending funding availability in summer 2026, at which time the FDA will review the request for final approval and execution. Interested parties should direct inquiries to the FDA's Acquisition Liaison at hfpacquisitions@fda.hhs.gov.
