## Description

This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with the following vendor:

**LabVantage Solutions, Inc. Acquistion Description:** The purpose of this requirement is to obtain out-year licensing and support to supplement the cGMP compliant Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that has already been purchased (under POTS# 23-009948) and that is currently under configuration.

This request is being made for licensing agreements post-installation to support the configuration and rollout of the Portal and to supplement the time already included under the original SOW based on the information gathered during the Site Process Analysis. Procurement and implementation of these items will ensure that all required functionality is available and will allow the STS to realize many process improvements/efficiencies and close the compliance gaps identified in the original procurement.

The statutory authority for this sole source requirement is 41 U.S.C. 253(c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 only one responsible source and no other supply of service will satisfy agency requirements. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. All responsible sources that could provide the required may submit a capability statement that will be considered by email (subject line to reference NOI-CC-26-001415) by 12:00 PM eastern standard time on 03/01/2026 to:

valerie.gregorio@nih.gov. All responses received by the closing date of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
