USGS seeks seagrass genome sequencing services for coastal research.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) seeks sources for seagrass genome sequencing services. The contractor will perform whole genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation of seagrass species to support research on coastal ecosystems. Key deliverables include high-quality genome assemblies, gene annotations, and raw sequencing data. Interested vendors must demonstrate experience in plant genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. The contract is expected to be a firm-fixed-price award with a period of performance of one year. This is a sources sought notice for market research; no solicitation is currently available.
