The contract solicitation AJ12–RNA Sequencing, issued under solicitation number 36C26026Q0616 by the Department of Veterans Affairs through the 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 in Vancouver, WA, seeks a commercial service provider to perform transcriptomic and epigenomic sequencing on 10 to 100 veteran biological samples annually. The work involves RNA sequencing, single nuclei RNA sequencing, and ATAC sequencing, with optional RNA isolation and bioinformatics analysis, all to be conducted at the contractor’s facility with a strong preference for proximity to Portland, OR, to ensure sample integrity during transit. Performance is expected to commence on May 1, 2026, with a base period ending April 30, 2027, and includes three optional one-year extensions through April 30, 2030, with final delivery anticipated by May 31, 2031. Deliverables must meet lab quality standards verified by Dr. Adrian Baris, including specified metrics for sample integrity, sequencing depth, and data usability, and all samples must be shipped via dry ice with courier pickup and return logistics included in the proposal.

The solicitation requires full compliance with FAR 52.212-4 for commercial products and services, incorporating provisions for inspection and acceptance by the Government at the Portland, OR delivery point, with the Government retaining sole authority to accept or reject deliverables.
