Sea Lice Genotyping
The USDA Forest Service is soliciting DNA extraction and SNP genotyping services for ethanol-preserved sea lice samples using AXIOM LSAL200K 96-ARRAY technology on the GeneTitan Instrument or an equivalent system. The procurement is a total small-business set-aside for testing laboratory services and requires genotyping data, raw CEL files, PLINK-format files, and return of unused tissue and DNA samples. Offers are due September 24, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EDT, and this is a contract solicitation rather than a grant program.
