Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) plans to award a non-competitive purchase order to Attagene, Inc. for multi-endpoint gene regulatory assays to evaluate cellular responses to organic chemicals extracted from groundwater samples in petroleum hydrocarbon contaminant plumes. The anticipated contract will be firm, fixed-price with a base year and four option years to analyze approximately 10 samples annually. The key aspects of the job include:
• Analyzing groundwater samples for organic chemicals
• Evaluating cellular responses to these chemicals
• Providing multi-endpoint gene regulatory assays
• Delivering the results within the specified period of performance (08/24/2026 to 08/23/2027)
The USGS is seeking a vendor that can provide these services, and Attagene, Inc. is the only source reasonably available due to their unique suite of assays and publicly available data.
