DESCRIPTION
The procuring organization seeks a cloud-enabled next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform to support genomic surveillance, pathogen characterization, outbreak investigations, routine sequencing workflows, and public health and research applications. The platform should be self-contained and include integrated or compatible secondary analysis capabilities.
The solution must generate high-throughput sequencing data suitable for whole-genome sequencing, targeted sequencing, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and related molecular applications. It should provide automated or streamlined workflows that minimize manual intervention and reduce opportunities for user error during sequencing runs.
The platform should also include onboard, local, or cloud-enabled bioinformatics capabilities for primary and secondary data analysis, including sequence alignment, variant detection, quality assessment, and data processing. Supported applications should include pathogen whole-genome sequencing, antimicrobial resistance surveillance, outbreak investigation, metagenomics, transcriptomics, and related genomics activities. Questions must be submitted by August 21, 2026, and proposals are due September 2, 2026.
