The Department of the Navy intends to negotiate and award a firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to Columbia University for a 10-day in-person training event on the Virome-Capture-Sequencing platform for vertebrate viruses (VCS-VERT). The training will be performed at the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR) in Accra, Ghana, supporting personnel permanently stationed at the NAMRU EURAFCENT host-nation partner laboratory. The requirement aims to establish an agnostic vertebrate viral discovery and full-genome characterization capability for health protection of forward-deployed forces. Interested companies may submit a written capability statement for consideration in a possible future competitive procurement, with contact information provided in the notice. No budget amount is specified.
