Validation and Optimization of ONE-STEP Tagging in Human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Solicitation # NIH-NOI-PCA-NIA-01590

The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the validation and optimization of ONE-STEP tagging in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This acquisition aims to support the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI) and the Center of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (CARD) by generating functionally engineered iPSC lines for research into Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The project involves high-activity guide identification, Bxb1 mRNA and cargo plasmid delivery optimization, and the generation of ADRD variant, MAPT 4R, and wild-type process-control clones. All deliverables must be repository-ready, meeting strict quality control standards including long-read sequencing, karyotype analysis, and SNP arrays to ensure scientific continuity and data integrity. The government intends to award this contract to The Jackson Laboratory, citing them as the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirements under FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 13.501(a). This determination is based on the laboratory's unique continuity with the existing iNDI program, established workflows for specific background lines, and proven success in large-scale CRISPR/Cas9 engineering. The total estimated contract value is 3,353,115.00 dollars, covering a base year from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027, and an option year extending to August 31, 2028. While this is a sole-source intent, the government will consider capability statements from other sources submitted by August 21, 2026, to determine if adequate competition exists.
