AJ12--RNA Sequencing

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This solicitation (36C26026Q0616) is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Transcriptomic (RNA) and epigenomic (ATAC) sequencing services, including transportation. The research aims to understand mechanisms of the catabolic response to sepsis and its crosstalk with innate immune activation and organ homeostasis, particularly in veterans who are uniquely susceptible to sepsis.

• Transcriptomic (RNA) and epigenomic (ATAC) sequencing for 10-100 samples per year.

• Courier service for sample pickup.

• Samples are temperature sensitive and perishable; VA will provide dry ice for shipping.

• Specific tasks may include RNA isolation, quality control, library preparation, sequencing, and optional analysis (alignment to reference genome, ATAC sequencing data analysis).

• Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price.

• Period of Performance:

  • Base: May 1, 2026 - April 30, 2027
  • Option Year 1: May 1, 2027 - April 30, 2028
  • Option Year 2: May 1, 2028 - April 30, 2029

• Questions due: May 8, 2026, by 1:00 PM Mountain Time.

• Quotes due: May 15, 2026, by 1:00 PM Mountain Time.

• Offers will be evaluated based on Price, Technical or Quality, and Past Performance.

• The government reserves the right to select a quotation that provides additional benefit beyond minimum requirements.

• Past performance will be evaluated based on CPARS, references, and other sources. Vendors must have no negative past performance in CPARS.

• This acquisition is unrestricted.

• NAICS Code: 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology))

• Size Standard: 1000 Employees

• The facility performing the sequencing should be located as close as possible to Portland, OR.

• No Government-Furnished Equipment (GFE) or Information (GFI) will be provided.

• Contractor does not require background investigation or access to sensitive information.
