Developing Sugarcane Marker Panel Assay RFP

Description: The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service issued Solicitation 1232SA26Q0668 as a FAR Part 12 combined synopsis/solicitation for a contractor to develop and design a mid-density 5,000-SNP marker panel assay for sugarcane genomic research. The work is to update an existing custom-made sugarcane SNP panel developed by USDA ARS SEA’s Sugarcane Research Unit in Houma, LA, under the attached Statement of Work, and the notice is set aside for small businesses. SAM.gov lists the notice as active, originally published Aug 28, 2026 2:34 PM CDT, with responses due Sep 03, 2026 3:00 PM CDT, so it remains open on 2026-08-29 and is a procurement rather than a grant.
