RENEWAL OF SOFTWARE LICENSE, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT FOR GENEDATA ANALYST (AMBIS 2208749)

This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with Genedata (USA), Inc., 750 Marrett Road, One Cranberry Hill, Suite 403, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421, to procure a renewal of software license, maintenance and support for Genedata Analyst.

This is a follow-on purchase of a bioinformatics analysis program currently used by the Viral Pathogenesis and Evolution Section (VPES) to perform comprehensive statistical modeling of ‘multi-omics’ data and advanced visualizations for target-of-interest, biological network characterization, and diagnostic/prognostic biomarker identification in genomics/transcriptomics/proteomics data sets from animal model and human clinical samples derived from vaccine and infection studies performed by the VPES, as part of its mission to characterize understand disease molecular pathology to develop novel medical countermeasures and vaccines.

The Analyst module enables sophisticated statistical analysis and interactive visualization of complex data such as genotype, phenotype, and omics data. Analyst is a secure and scalable data mining solution that can be easily integrated into existing research IT environments with a rich toolbox of APIs. Genedata is the only vendor to provide the required software license, maintenance and support for Genedata Analyst. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation.
