High-Throughput Gene Regulatory Assay Services

The contract seeks services for the execution of high-throughput gene regulatory assays across multiple endpoints using groundwater samples collected from petroleum hydrocarbon plumes, with the goal of identifying toxic contaminants present in these environments. The work requires robust analytical methods to measure biological responses at the gene level, enabling the detection of subtle toxicological effects that may not be apparent through traditional chemical analysis alone. Comprehensive data processing and stringent quality control protocols must be implemented throughout the assay workflow to ensure accuracy, reproducibility, and regulatory relevance of the results. This subcontract is open under the NAICS code 541990 for other scientific and technical services and is issued by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Acquisition Grants-National. The solicitation was posted on August 4, 2026, with a strict response deadline of August 11, 2026. Performance location details are unspecified, and no set-aside provisions or point of contact information are provided. The nature of the work implies collaboration with environmental monitoring teams and a focus on advancing biologically based detection methods for hydrocarbon-related pollution in groundwater systems.
