Request for Information - Short Tandem Repeat Typing of Unidentified Human Remains

The FBI Laboratory Division’s Biometrics Analysis Section is conducting market research to identify firms capable of providing short‑tandem‑repeat (STR) typing services for unidentified human remains (UHR). The contemplated effort requires the vendor to isolate human DNA and perform STR analysis at the 20 CODIS loci from calcified tissues (e.g., skeletal elements) using validated, accredited procedures that meet international laboratory standards and applicable quality‑assurance requirements. All material and personnel costs for the laboratory analyses must be borne by the vendor. Respondents must demonstrate the commerciality of the service (including any public sales, leases, or licenses), indicate whether the offering is a commercial item, and disclose any applicable GSA Schedule or other federal contract vehicles (including contract numbers and SINs). Interested parties are to submit an eight‑page capability statement (PDF, Word, or Excel) by 5:00 PM EST, Friday 22 May 2026, to Contracting Officer Mr. Bryan Lane (bvlane@fbi.gov) at the FBI Academy Complex, Quantico, VA. Submissions must include company name, address, point‑of‑contact information, DUNS, CAGE, UEI, business size/socio‑economic status, NAICS codes, and a brief description of technical resources and personnel. Responses are for informational purposes only; no proposals, past‑performance data, or solicitation requests are permitted, and all material must be unclassified. Proprietary data must be clearly marked and will be treated as confidential.
