About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health is forecasting a New Requirement for Scientific Data Analysis, Annotation, and Quality Assurance Support under NAICS 541715, set aside for Total Small Business, with an estimated solicitation release date of May 1, 2026 and an estimated award date of July 1, 2026. The requirement calls for subject matter experts and expert curators to provide scientific data processing, integration, analysis, annotation, and quality assurance across 40 databases, including GenBank, dbSNP, dbVar, ClinVar, dbGaP, the Sequence Read Archive, PubChem, the Conserved Domain Database, RefSeq, the Genetic Testing Registry, and more, along with electronic submission processing and support for PubMed, PubMed Central, and the Bookshelf. Curators review, evaluate, analyze, enter, edit, and perform data QA and maintenance tasks, and the source states that losing this contract would impact open access scientific resources for the biomedical community and research outputs on human healthcare.
The estimated award value minimum is $100 million, and both estimated dates precede the November 14, 2026 posting date. Points of contact are Justin Borden, Contract Specialist at the National Institutes of Health (justin.borden@nih.gov, +1 (301) 480-9887), and John Mullican at the National Institutes of Health (mullicaj@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
