About this forecast

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking research services to develop and expand the ARGOS repository, focusing on bioinformatic and biological research. The project aims to create a high-quality "regulatory grade" next-generation sequence database to support the development of diagnostics and medical countermeasures. The estimated solicitation release date is May 1, 2026, with an anticipated contract award date of July 1, 2026.

This follow-on requirement from early engagement in FY2025 falls under NAICS code 541714 for Research and Development in Biotechnology. The contract will be managed through the Department of Health and Human Services, with Joshua Holliday (joshua.holliday@fda.hhs.gov) serving as the primary point of contact. While specific award values and performance locations are not currently available, the research services will be critical for advancing regulatory-grade genetic sequencing capabilities.
