Title
Notice of Intent to Sole Source to Labvantage Solutions Inc for Laboratory Information Management System Software
Description
This is a Notice of Intent and NOT a request for quotation. No solicitation will be issued, and quotations will not be requested.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to award a firm fixed-price purchase order on a sole source basis to Labvantage Solutions Inc, located at 265 Davidson Ave Suite 220, Somerset, NJ 08873-4120, for a one-year licensing and support agreement. This will supplement the cGMP-compliant Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) previously purchased and currently under configuration.
The Sterility Testing Service (STS) provides cGMP microbiology testing—including in-process testing, product release testing, and environmental monitoring—supporting thirteen Aseptic Processing Facilities (APFs) across NIH divisions such as the CC Center for Cellular Engineering, NCI Surgery Branch, NCI Vector Processing Facility, NCI Molecular Imaging Branch, CC PET Department, CC Radiopharmacy, and CC Pharmacy. The FDA expects testing labs, whether internal or external, to meet or exceed manufacturing facility standards regarding data integrity, electronic systems, and documentation.
The Department of Laboratory Medicine requests licensing agreements for post-installation support to assist with the configuration and rollout of the Portal. This effort supplements the previous procurement, incorporating insights gained during the Site Process Analysis. Procurement and implementation of these licenses will ensure all required functionalities are enabled, help close compliance gaps, and drive process improvements and efficiencies.
The below items are required for this requirement:
Product Number/Description/Quantity
SMLVENHAN3006/SMP, Original Software NIHCC_12474/1
LJB251400R/JBoss App Server-25 users-Renewal/1
SMLVBASIC3000/SMP, Add’l software order_12474-2
Labvantage Solutions Inc. is the sole vendor capable of providing out-year licensing for the already approved and procured Laboratory Information Management System.
