Solicitation # 36C25226R0084

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information from potential vendors to support a sole source procurement for Methylated and hydroxymethylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-seq and hMeDIP-seq) services under solicitation number 36C25226R0084. This effort is part of a TBI research project at the William S Middleton VA Medical Center in Madison, Wisconsin, aimed at understanding epigenetic changes—specifically the roles of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine—in secondary brain damage following trauma. The contract requires comprehensive sequencing and data analysis of mouse brain tissue samples from adult and aged males and females to identify sex- and age-specific patterns. The work must be performed using the same tissue samples for both MeDIP and hMeDIP to minimize variability and ensure reliable comparative results. The vendor will deliver raw sequencing data in Fastq format, quality control reports, analytical summaries, and final project reports in Excel, PDF, and PNG formats within 56 to 70 days of contract start. Submission of capability statements is required by August 10, 2026, via email only, with no phone inquiries accepted, and must include customer references and technical proof of capability. This is not a solicitation or request for proposals but a sources sought notice to justify a sole source award under 41 U.S.C. 1901, as the VA believes only one vendor can meet the highly specialized scientific requirements. The principal investigator will evaluate all submissions due to the technical nature of the research and will determine vendor suitability. The contract, if awarded, will be a firm fixed price agreement for one year, with no option periods, running from August 10, 2026, to August 9, 2027. All deliverables must be transmitted via USB drive, as the research laboratory operates in an affiliate space disconnected from the VA network. Responses must be emailed to Tiarrah Turner at the VA Great Lakes Acquisition Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with attachments not exceeding 8 MB each. The government retains full discretion to proceed with sole source negotiation regardless of responses received. No federal funds are allocated under the Recovery Act for this procurement.

Modification to Extend Services for Scientific, Operations and Administrative Resources (SOAR) Contract Program

Solicitation # OLAO-SSD-SOAR-NOI

The National Institutes of Health, through the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is executing a non-competitive extension of the Scientific, Operations, and Administrative Resources (SOAR) contract program to ensure uninterrupted support for critical biomedical research activities. The SOAR program consists of five indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts held by Axle Informatics LLC, Gap Solutions, Inc., Kelly Services, Inc., Guidehouse Digital LLC, and 22nd Century Technologies, Inc., with a combined maximum ordering value of $3.6 billion. The current ordering period is set to expire on June 21, 2026, but this amendment extends the base ordering period by twelve months to June 21, 2027, and adds two optional six-month extensions extending through June 21, 2028. Crucially, the clause governing task order duration is being revised to permit task orders to extend up to thirty-six months beyond the conclusion of the full extended ordering period, providing necessary flexibility for a phased transition to a future competitive procurement. This extension does not increase the contract ceiling; the remaining available funds of approximately $2.17 billion will be used to fulfill new and existing task orders under the revised timeframe. The extension is justified under FAR 6.103-1 due to the uniquely specialized and highly technical nature of the services, which require deep institutional knowledge, scientifically fluent personnel such as bioinformaticists, molecular biologists, and clinical research coordinators, and seamless continuity to protect ongoing research investments, prevent disruption to NIH’s mission, and avoid costly and risky transitions. Only the incumbent contractors possess the necessary expertise and infrastructure to deliver these services without jeopardizing the integrity of active biomedical projects, benchmark studies, and translational science efforts. The effort is part of a broader HHS initiative to consolidate and refine professional service procurements and is intended as a temporary measure to allow sufficient time for a full and open competition to be planned, executed, and transitioned without operational interruption. Responses to this presolicitation are solicited through March 5, 2027, to assess potential alternatives, but award will proceed non-competitively unless compelling evidence demonstrates viable competition exists. All proposers must hold an active SAM registration, provide their Unique Entity Identifier, and certify their business size status, with submissions required via email to designated NIH points of contact.
