- Description
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures with BioTeam, Inc., 7 Derosler Drive, Middleton, MA 01949, for the Enhancement of the WikiLIMS Data Management System. This requirement is for the contractor to extend the existing system to enhance the capabilities and user interface based on feedback from the beta testers as Phase III within 120 days of contract initiation. Additional enhancements to accommodate high content data types and experimental designs may be required on an optional basis. These optional services will extend the period of performance to 36 months after contract award. The WikiLIMS system will serve as the central repository for all high content data generated in the ORD/NHEERL Laboratories and will enable research on systems approaches to toxicity testing in the twenty-first century. BioTeam is considered a unique source in that the firm installed and modified the existing WikiLIMS system, which is based on a system developed by BioTeam for the US Navy. Bioteam is uniquely familiar with the existing code, as they developed Phase I and II of the existing WikiLIMS. No other vendor can modify/add to the existing code for NHEERL?s use in the short timeframe required in Phase III. Additionally, the firm possesses the necessary experience and science/IT capability required to install, modify, and extend the code as required by EPA. EPA believes BioTeam is the only vendor capable of reasonably satisfying the requirements stated above. The circumstance permitting "other than full and open competition is FAR 13.106-1(b), only one source reasonably available and no other supplies or service will satisfy Agency requirements. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541512, with a small business size standard of $25.0 million, is applicable. The intent of this notice is to determine if any other source(s) exist, and therefore, no solicitation (RFQ) is available. Consequently, any response failing to provide evidence of the aforementioned data and instead choosing to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFQ will not be honored. Interested parties who can meet the above requirements may submit written qualifications fully explaining their capability no later than 15 days after the date of this publication. Submit response to US EPA, Attn: Jennifer Hill (E105-02), RTP Procurement Operations Division, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711via US Postal Service. No telephonic or faxed request will be honored.
