This opportunity concerns a sole source procurement by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for specialized coral genetic analysis in the Pacific Islands. - The Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office requires high-resolution phylogenomic sequencing of approximately 48 coral specimens from American Samoa. - The work will use the proprietary ezRAD sequencing method, developed by Dr. Robert Toonen at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB). - This is a non-competitive, single source acquisition justified by Dr. Toonen's unique expertise and the proprietary nature of the ezRAD method. - The service includes genetic sequencing, phylogenetic analysis, and integration with ecological data for the Deep-CRES project. - No commercial OEMs or part numbers are specified; the work is highly specialized and research-focused. - The procurement is not open for competition due to the unique capabilities required. - No specific period of performance or contract value is provided in the available documentation.
