Single Nuclei RNA Sequencing Services

The contract solicits single-nuclei RNA sequencing services to achieve single-cell resolution from complex tissues, focusing on the isolation and sequencing of nuclei to enable transcriptomic analysis of hard-to-dissociate samples. The work requires advanced single-cell genomics capabilities, including precise nuclear extraction, library preparation, and high-throughput sequencing, with all outputs delivered in a format suitable for downstream bioinformatic analysis. The effort is positioned as a subcontract under a total small business set-aside, ensuring only small businesses certified by the SBA may compete, and aligns with NAICS code 541620, which classifies the work as analytical laboratory services for scientific research. The contract is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs through its 260-NETWORK Contract Office 20 and is set to be performed in Portland, Oregon, with a zip code of 97239. The solicitation was posted on May 1, 2026, but the response deadline has already passed on April 7, 2026, indicating the award process is complete or nearing completion. No point of contact is provided in the data, and the place of performance does not include a state designation despite the city being listed. The contract does not specify delivery timelines, volume of samples, or exact sequencing depth, requiring proposers to have prior experience with nuclear RNA-seq in complex tissue types and the ability to meet stringent quality metrics for single-cell resolution data.
