The US Geological Survey (USGS), National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) has a potential need for the following: The services to be acquired under this action will be to upgrade reports that are run from within the current highly customized Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) used by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) in Lakewood, Colorado. This acquisition will upgrade existing custom reports so that they will be compatible with the customized and upgraded version of StarLIMS that the NWQL is currently developing and implementing. Since the implementation of the highly customized StarLIMS system in 2001, NWQL personnel have designed and created more than 300 reports using Crystal Reports. Many of these reports will require migration and additional customizations to work effectively with the customized version of the upgraded StarLIMS at the NWQL. In addition to migration and customizations, many of the reports that run against the LIMS system need to be updated from the older unsupported versions of Crystal Reports that were used when they were originally created. The programming services to be acquired will update up to 80 reports that have been deemed critical for successful implementation of the LIMS system upgrade.
