Exosome Purification, Exosomal RNA Purification, and Small RNA-Sequencing ServicesThe National Institutes of Health, in collaboration with the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, seeks specialized laboratory services to support the POTS clinical research study conducted at NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. The contract requires a qualified provider to process 31 irreplaceable plasma specimens from human participants, performing integrated exosome isolation, exosomal RNA purification, and small RNA-sequencing using Illumina platforms. These tasks must be completed with strict adherence to sample integrity and chain of custody protocols, as the requiring laboratory lacks the validated capacity or bandwidth to perform these procedures in-house within the required timeframe. Each specimen, consisting of 0.5 mL of plasma, must be processed to yield intact exosomes split into multiple aliquots, with exosomal RNA extracted and_QUALITY controlled, and a portion used for downstream sequencing. The contractor is responsible for supplying all personnel, equipment, reagents, and materials necessary to complete the work. The provider must prepare libraries, sequence all 31 samples on the Illumina platform with a target of approximately 20 million raw reads per sample at 1x51 bp, and deliver sequencing data to the government via both physical hard drive and digital download. Basic bioinformatics processing, including read trimming, filtering, and mapping, is also required to ensure analysis-ready outputs. All specimens and resulting materials must be returned to the NIH in accordance with prescribed protocols, maintaining proper documentation and tracking throughout the entire workflow. The solicitation, numbered 75N98026Q00707, is open for response until July 7, 2026, under NAICS code 541714, with no set-aside requirements, and point of contact for inquiries is John Burton at NIH.

Exosome Isolation from Human PlasmaThe contract titled Exosome Isolation from Human Plasma requires the isolation of intact exosomes from 31 human plasma specimens using validated methodologies such as ultracentrifugation or commercially available kits, with strict adherence to protocols that ensure the biological integrity of the exosomes throughout the process. The work must be performed to meet high standards of purity and yield, supporting downstream research applications that rely on undamaged exosomal content. All procedures must be documented and verified to confirm consistency and reproducibility across all samples. This subcontract is issued under the National Institutes of Health Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, within the Department of Health and Human Services, with a NAICS code of 541714 for research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. The opportunity was posted on June 26, 2026, and proposals are due by July 7, 2026, at 1:00 PM.
