What this contract is for

The US Army Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) requires requires assessing the genome of soldiers who volunteer for research studies. The Military Nutrition Division requires a vendor capable of delivering large-scale, high-density array-based genotyping services for 648 DNA samples collected as part of the Military Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (MHANES). Genomics analysis (i.e., targeted measurement of millions of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms [SNPs] in the genome and assessment of specific SNPs) is required to support analyses in ongoing research studies. Genomic analysis of DNA using array-based genotyping enables targeted and reproducible measurement of hundreds of thousands to millions of known human variants and facilitates high-resolution imputation to tens of millions of additional variants. For this project, the Illumina Global Diversity Array (GDA), which includes approximately 1.8 million genome-wide markers, is required to support population genetic analyses, ancestry inference, polygenic score calculation, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.

Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
