AI Contract Overview
The US Army Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine is seeking a vendor to perform large-scale genotyping analysis on 648 DNA samples collected through the Military Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The work requires high-density array-based genotyping using the Illumina Global Diversity Array, which provides approximately 1.8 million genome-wide SNP markers to enable population genetics, ancestry inference, polygenic score calculations, and genome-wide association studies. The service must deliver accurate, reproducible measurements of millions of known human genetic variants and support high-resolution imputation to infer additional tens of millions of variants not directly assayed. This effort supports ongoing nutritional and health research within the Military Nutrition Division, focusing on the genetic underpinnings of soldier performance and health outcomes. The solicitation, titled Genotyping Analysis Services and identified by number HT942626QE044, was posted on July 8, 2026, with a response deadline of July 30, 2026. The contract is managed by the Defense Health Agency under the NAICS code 621511 and has no set-aside designation. All work will be performed by the vendor, with no specified place of performance listed. Primary point of contact is Nicholas VanDevander, with Erin Maddox as secondary contact, both reachable through their official military email addresses. The full solicitation details and submission requirements can be accessed via the SAM.gov workspace link provided.

Full Description
The US Army Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) requires requires assessing the genome of soldiers who volunteer for research studies. The Military Nutrition Division requires a vendor capable of delivering large-scale, high-density array-based genotyping services for 648 DNA samples collected as part of the Military Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (MHANES). Genomics analysis (i.e., targeted measurement of millions of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms [SNPs] in the genome and assessment of specific SNPs) is required to support analyses in ongoing research studies. Genomic analysis of DNA using array-based genotyping enables targeted and reproducible measurement of hundreds of thousands to millions of known human variants and facilitates high-resolution imputation to tens of millions of additional variants. For this project, the Illumina Global Diversity Array (GDA), which includes approximately 1.8 million genome-wide markers, is required to support population genetic analyses, ancestry inference, polygenic score calculation, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
