ICFRE Nucleic Acid Sequencing and Genotyping Service Tender Dehradun 2026 - Whole Genome Fungal Sequencing IS 550 Compliant

Tender Overview

Organization: Indian Council Of Forestry Research And Education (icfre) | Service: Nucleic Acid Sequencing and Genotyping Service – Whole Genome Sequencing (fungal) | Location: Dehradun, Uttarakhand (buyer collection) | Estimated Value: ₹70,000 | Data deliverables: raw data and primary analyses; Sequencing platforms: Oxford Nanopore/PacBio; Delivery/collection: service provider to collect samples from buyer; Key differentiator: focus on high-throughput fungal genome work with long-read sequencing.

• Scope covers long-read sequencing with 95%+ data quality targets and 50x coverage specifics; project outputs include fastq data and comprehensive analysis; potential pre/post-assembly steps form part of the deliverables; no explicit BOQ exists, but the scope centers on genome sequencing and downstream analyses.

Technical Specifications & Requirements

• Sequencing technology: long-read PacBio or Oxford Nanopore sequencing to be used (explicitly noted in ATC as required).
• Output data: approximately 10 GB delivered per sample.
• Quality checks: sequencing statistics and FastQC reports to be generated.
• Bioinformatics workflow: de novo assembly and scaffolding, gene prediction and annotation, SSR prediction, Ortholog clustering.
• Analyses: phylogenetic analysis and generation of raw data in FASTQ format.
• Standards/Compliance: specification mentions no alternative deviation allowed in certain clauses; ensure vendor capability aligns with fungal genome sequencing workflows.

Terms, Conditions & Eligibility
