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 to Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute Incorporated (GMGI) for the development and validation of epigenetic aging models for Northeastern Atlantic fish species, utilizing DNA methylation sequencing and computational modeling. The contract, with a potential value up to $9 million, includes one base year and four one-year option periods, and will require GMGI to provide all personnel, equipment, laboratory facilities, and bioinformatics infrastructure necessary to extract high-quality DNA, perform methylation sequencing, and build age-prediction models for haddock, Atlantic cod, black sea bass, and ultimately goosefish. Haddock will serve as the initial model species, followed by cod and black sea bass for validation, with goosefish targeted as the proof-of-concept application, leveraging insights from the prior species. The required tasks encompass DNA extraction and quality control, methylation sequencing, bioinformatics model development, and comparative validation, with GMGI being the only known entity with the specific experience and capability to perform these services on the designated Northeastern fish species. All responses to this notice must be submitted in writing within 14 calendar days of the posting date, no later than 2:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time on August 14, 2026, to the designated Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer via email. Respondents must demonstrate comprehensive capability to perform all nine tasks outlined in the Statement of Work, establish physical proximity to the Northeast Fisheries Science Center’s Population Biology Branch in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, show direct familiarity with analyzing Northeast regional saltwater fish species, and identify a qualified bioinformatician as key personnel. Responses must be detailed enough to allow the government to verify bona fide capability, and failure to provide complete documentation will result in the agency proceeding with the sole-source award without further competition. The government retains full discretion to decide whether to open the requirement to competition based on responses received, and no set-aside provisions apply to this solicitation under NAICS code 541380.

68HERH21D0002 Notice of Intent to Sole Source Bridge
Solicitation # 68HERH21D0002_Notice_Of_Intent_to_Sole_Source_Bridge
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency intends to execute a non-competitive bridge extension of its indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract 68HERH21D0002 and its active task orders 68HERH21F0185, 68HERH21F0187, and 68HERH21F0188 to ensure uninterrupted support of the Portable High Throughput Integrated Laboratory Identification Systems program. This extension, with a maximum duration of 18 months and a ceiling increase of 2% over the current estimated value of $581,089.25, is necessary to sustain critical emergency response and laboratory operations supporting the Environmental Response Team and CBRN Division. The PHILIS program provides on-site analysis of Chemical Warfare Agents, Toxic Industrial Chemicals, and Biological Agents during domestic incidents, enabling rapid consequence management without sample transport, and operates as a key component of the Environmental Response Laboratory Network. Consolidated Safety Services Incorporated is the only source capable of maintaining the specialized, mission-critical functions due to its unique, entrenched expertise, proprietary knowledge, and established operational continuity with the system, making competition impractical without unacceptable disruption to national preparedness efforts. The extension will be executed as a bilateral modification to the existing contract, beginning September 2, 2026, with an optional six-month period extending through February 28, 2028. No solicitation is being issued, but responsible sources may submit capability statements by August 14, 2026, to demonstrate why competition would be advantageous, though any such submissions will not obligate the government to reopen competition. The action is justified under FAR Subpart 6.102-3 due to sole source availability and mission-critical urgency, with the contractor possessing irreplaceable institutional knowledge and technical proficiency specific to PHILIS operations. Points of contact for inquiries are John Liertz and Heather Adams through EPA email addresses only, and all submissions must include the Unique Entity Identifier, company details, and a clear statement of capability. This action ensures continuity of services for homeland security, Superfund response, and environmental incident management while the agency finalizes a competitive follow-on procurement.
