Nanostring GeoMx Annual Service Contract

The National Institutes of Health, through the Office of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, has initiated a presolicitation for an annual service contract to maintain the GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler instrument, which was acquired to investigate tissue heterogeneity and microenvironment complexity in alcohol-induced organ injury and fibrosis models. This cutting-edge platform enables non-destructive, high-resolution profiling of RNA and protein expression across distinct tissue compartments and cell populations, integrating seamlessly with standard histology workflows to identify novel biomarkers, elucidate disease mechanisms, and evaluate drug actions in preclinical models. The instrument is critical for multiple ongoing research projects across several labs at NIAAA, supporting advanced spatial biology studies that require precise, scalable, and automated analyses. The contract, identified by solicitation number 75N98026Q00674 and NAICS code 334516, is open for response until July 2, 2026, with no set-aside requirements. It is managed by the Department of Health and Human Services, with performance and office locations in Bethesda, Maryland. Vishnuvajjala Hanumanth Rao serves as the primary point of contact, reachable via email at vishnuh@mail.nih.gov. The service contract will ensure the continued operational integrity of the GeoMx DSP system, enabling uninterrupted research into complex disease processes and facilitating the advancement of therapeutic discovery in alcohol-related and fibrotic conditions.
