CTX Veterinary Support Service for Zebrafish Vivarium
Solicitation # 36C25726Q0781
The Central Texas Veterans Health Care System in Temple, Texas is seeking a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine to provide specialized veterinary support services for its zebrafish vivarium core facility located in Research Building 205. The scope of work includes attending IACUC meetings, reviewing and submitting standard operating procedures and protocols, handling OLAW and AAALAC submissions, and providing guidance on training materials, with an annual requirement of twelve EAMO units of veterinary services and two semi-annual site visits for vivarium inspections. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed price instrument with a base performance period from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and four optional one-year renewal periods extending through August 31, 2031. Offerors must submit proposals in two separate volumes: a technical volume containing resumes, Texas veterinary licenses, proof of good standing, and documented experience specifically with zebrafish laboratory care, and a separate price volume using firm fixed unit pricing without any technical details. Proposals must be emailed to designated contracting officials by the deadline of August 6, 2026, with the solicitation number included in the subject line and a signed SF 1449 form attached. Evaluation will be based on a trade-off approach comparing technical capability and price, with award not automatically going to the lowest bidder. All personnel must comply with strict VA personnel vetting standards, including Tier 3 or Tier 5 background investigations, PIV card issuance and display, and adherence to VA Directive 0710. Contractors are subject to security prohibitions, data handling restrictions, and export control compliance, particularly regarding prohibited technologies and Iran-related entities. Invoicing must be submitted electronically through the Tungsten Network only, with no use of WAWF or IPP. The contract includes provisions for immediate removal of unfit personnel, flow-down of security requirements to subcontractors, and mandatory reporting within 72 hours for any non-compliance related to security, exports, or prohibited equipment.

Independent Model Validation and Otolith ComparisonThe contract seeks an independent validation of epigenetic aging models for fish by comparing their accuracy and reliability against the established otolith-based aging methodology, a standard in fisheries science. The work requires rigorous statistical analysis to evaluate performance metrics such as precision, bias, and agreement between the two methods across diverse fish species and age ranges, with the goal of determining whether epigenetic markers can serve as a viable, scalable alternative to traditional otolith reading. All findings must be documented in formal performance reports that clearly communicate the strengths, limitations, and potential applications of the new models in marine research and stock assessment contexts. The project is issued as a subcontract under NAICS code 541620 for scientific research and development and is managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce. Performance is required to occur in Woods Hole, a renowned marine science hub, and responses must be submitted by August 14, 2026, following a July 31, 2026 posting. While no specific set-aside provisions or point of contact are detailed, the initiative reflects a broader agency interest in advancing biotechnological tools for fisheries management through empirical validation and data-driven evaluation.

Notice of Intent to Sole Source - Development and Validation of Epigenetic Aging Models for Northwest Atlantic Fish Species
Solicitation # REQUIREMENTS-26-2587NOI2SS
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries intends to award a sole-source contract up to $9 million to Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute Incorporated (GMGI) for the development and validation of epigenetic aging models using DNA methylation sequencing for Northwest Atlantic fish species. The effort is grounded in the determination that GMGI is the only responsible source with proven experience conducting the required services on the target Northeastern fish species—specifically haddock, Atlantic cod, black sea bass, and goosefish—with haddock serving as the initial model species, cod and black sea bass for validation, and goosefish as the ultimate proof-of-concept. The contract includes one base year and four one-year option periods, with work encompassing DNA extraction and quality control, methylation sequencing via RRBS or WGBS on platforms such as NovaSeq, bioinformatics model development using machine learning or elastic net regression, and comparative validation against otolith-based aging standards. All personnel, laboratory facilities, equipment, and bioinformatics infrastructure must be provided by the contractor, and deliverables include a project plan, raw and processed sequencing data, a draft report with algorithms, and a final report with validated models, a user guide, and a presentation to the NOAA Fisheries Science Board. The Government will furnish biological tissue samples along with associated metadata including estimated age, length, sex, and catch location. Responses to this notice of intent are mandatory for any vendor seeking to challenge the sole-source designation and must be submitted via email to Jamie Abu Shakrah and Rachel Stone no later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on August 14, 2026. Each response must comprehensively demonstrate capability to perform all nine specified tasks, physical proximity to the Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, demonstrated familiarity with analyzing the regulated Northeast regional saltwater fish species, and the availability of a qualified bioinformatician as key personnel. No formal contracting clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation are incorporated, as this document serves solely as a pre-solicitation notice; however, the acquisition will proceed under simplified procedures authorized by FAR 12.201-1 based on unique technical expertise not found elsewhere. The place of performance is the contractor’s facility, with sample delivery occurring from NOAA Fisheries and all reviews conducted virtually. Failure to submit an affirmative response will result in the government proceeding with the sole-source award to GMGI without further competition, and no set-aside provisions or socioeconomic classifications apply to this procurement.
