The essential characteristics that make this requirement sole source are that the Mestrelab Mnova Suite is proprietary software currently in use at NCATS and contains several applications that are required for DPI research efforts. Without the license renewal we cannot continue to use the software, which would negatively impact research operations and productivity. We cannot consider alternative sources other than Mestrelab as no other manufacturers are authorized to grant license renewals for their proprietary software. The Mestrelab Mnova software utilized within NCATS is highly integrated with other applications and software throughout DPI. Many processes and workflows rely heavily on the Mnova software, which has been customized to the specific needs of DPI and NCATS.
