AN11--36C25226R0084 - TBI research with Arraystar Inc FY2026
Solicitation # 36C25226R0084
The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information from potential vendors to support a sole source procurement for Methylated and hydroxymethylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-seq and hMeDIP-seq) services under solicitation number 36C25226R0084. This effort is part of a TBI research project at the William S Middleton VA Medical Center in Madison, Wisconsin, aimed at understanding epigenetic changes—specifically the roles of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine—in secondary brain damage following trauma. The contract requires comprehensive sequencing and data analysis of mouse brain tissue samples from adult and aged males and females to identify sex- and age-specific patterns. The work must be performed using the same tissue samples for both MeDIP and hMeDIP to minimize variability and ensure reliable comparative results. The vendor will deliver raw sequencing data in Fastq format, quality control reports, analytical summaries, and final project reports in Excel, PDF, and PNG formats within 56 to 70 days of contract start. Submission of capability statements is required by August 10, 2026, via email only, with no phone inquiries accepted, and must include customer references and technical proof of capability. This is not a solicitation or request for proposals but a sources sought notice to justify a sole source award under 41 U.S.C. 1901, as the VA believes only one vendor can meet the highly specialized scientific requirements. The principal investigator will evaluate all submissions due to the technical nature of the research and will determine vendor suitability. The contract, if awarded, will be a firm fixed price agreement for one year, with no option periods, running from August 10, 2026, to August 9, 2027. All deliverables must be transmitted via USB drive, as the research laboratory operates in an affiliate space disconnected from the VA network. Responses must be emailed to Tiarrah Turner at the VA Great Lakes Acquisition Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with attachments not exceeding 8 MB each. The government retains full discretion to proceed with sole source negotiation regardless of responses received. No federal funds are allocated under the Recovery Act for this procurement.

Emerging Infections Network - Research for Preventing, Detecting, and Managing Travel-associated Infectious Diseases
Solicitation # RFA-CK-26-035
This funding opportunity aims to strengthen the detection, prevention, and management of infectious diseases among international travelers by establishing a robust research network focused on real-world surveillance and clinical insights. The initiative seeks to improve the speed and accuracy of outbreak detection, enhance understanding of disease progression, refine diagnostic and treatment approaches, and optimize genomic surveillance—all with the goal of advancing U.S. global health security. Research must directly address public health challenges linked to travel-associated infections, with an emphasis on generating actionable data that informs guidelines and improves patient care outcomes. The program includes two distinct but complementary components: a clinic-based sentinel network that collects clinical and epidemiological data from healthcare settings serving travelers, and a sentinel detection system embedded within international transportation hubs such as airports and seaports to capture early signals of emerging threats. Applicants may submit proposals for one or both components, but if a single applicant receives top scores for both, funding will be awarded only for Component B, ensuring resources are directed toward the most critical point of pathogen introduction. Applications must be submitted by November 5, 2026, through the CDC’s solicitation RFA-CK-26-035, with direct inquiries to the designated point of contact at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Convergence Special Notice
Solicitation # DARPA-SN-26-108
The Convergence program seeks to revolutionize environmental monitoring for defense operations by integrating synthetic biology and engineering to create advanced microbial biosensors capable of detecting chemical and pharmaceutical hazards in austere environments. Leveraging non-pathogenic microbial consortia built on well-characterized, safe host organisms like E. coli, the initiative focuses on developing modular biological systems that translate environmental inputs into standardized, detectable outputs. The program’s development follows a structured four-tiered approach, progressing from component-level design and integrated payload engineering to full system integration within a microbial chassis, ultimately aiming for a deployable platform ready for U.S. and international regulatory certification. This systematic progression ensures that each layer of functionality is rigorously validated before scaling to operational readiness. To enable safe, responsible, and globally viable deployment, the program includes a dedicated ecosystem of testing and collaboration. Performance and safety validation will first occur within the United States before exploring international adoption, with two specialized working groups guiding the process: one focused on navigating socio-political landscapes and local environmental regulations, and another managing cooperative use cases and deployment protocols with global allies. Administered by DARPA, the solicitation under number DARPA-SN-26-108 invites multidisciplinary teams in synthetic biology, environmental science, and engineering to contribute to this initiative, with responses due by August 6, 2026. The program is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, and is led by Mark Salvador, with the goal of delivering a scalable, secure, and globally interoperable biosensor platform for the protection of military personnel.

The base performance period is five years, beginning September 2026, with an optional five-year extension, bringing the total potential contract value to $400 million, with individual task orders to be issued under cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm-fixed-price arrangements. Offerors must submit proposals in five separate volumes, each as a searchable PDF, along with a supplemental unclassified video pitch between three and seven minutes in length, formatted in MPEG-4 at 1080p resolution. Proposals are due by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on July 15, 2026, and must be emailed to the designated point of contact. Evaluation will be conducted based on five factors, ranked in order of importance: Technical (most important), Management, Past Performance, Small Business, and Cost & Business Structure (least important non-cost factor). No numerical weights are assigned, and the award will be made using a trade-off process emphasizing superior technical merit over price, with the expectation that all non-cost factors combined carry significantly greater weight than cost. The Technical factor includes equally weighted subfactors centered on expertise in six core disciplines and six critical interdisciplinary projects, assessed using adjectival ratings from BLUE (outstanding, low risk) to RED (unacceptable, unawardable). Compliance with regulatory requirements is strict: contractors must maintain active UEI and CAGE codes in SAM, adhere to cybersecurity maturity model certification requirements, and submit all deliverables in accordance with Department of Transportation packaging standards and marking requirements that include contract number, project title, and sensitive data classification. Travel is highly regulated, requiring prior COR approval and adherence to JTR per diem limits; OCONUS travel necessitates SPOT registration and a Letter of Authorization.
