D -- SOFTWARE SUPPORT SERVICES FOR CLINICAL CENTER MEDICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM SOL 293-97-P(LJ)-0041 POC Ann Argaman, Contract Specialist, (301)496-6254, Patrick Williams, Contracting Officer, (301) 496-2501. This amends the Notice of Intent published for the subject procurement in the Commerce Business Daily on May 12, 1997. In addition to negotiating for software support services for the Clinical Center Medical Information System (CCMIS or MIS), the National Institutes of Health will also negotiate with Eclipsys Corporation to provide the Eclipsys Enterprise Data Repository (EDR) software and maintenance for this software. The Clinical Center needs the ability for the MIS to manipulate massive historical patient data. The software needed must be a mainframe application which utilizes multiple software components running under mainframe, client/server and Windows to access and map data from the TDS 7000 series Permanent Patient Record. Also, the software to be provided must allow the NIH to automate the translation of clinical data into relational format, and prepare the data and load them into a client/server database for use in the new Clinical Data Repository. Firms believing that they can meet this additional requirement should submit clear and convincing documentation by 45 days from the publication date of the original synopsis for this requirement which demonstrates their ability to meet the stated additional requirement. Oral communication is not acceptable and will not be honored. Responses requesting the solicitation without providing the required documentation shall not be considered. There is no solicitation document. Concerns that respond to this amended notice will be considered only if furnishing clear and convincing documentation demonstrating their ability to meet, at a minimum the stated requirement. Written responses should contain sufficient technical information and a description of the proposed software which meets the requirements in order to permit agency analysis to establish a bonafide capability to meet the stated requirements and should be directed to Ann Argaman at the address above. A determination by the Government to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government will not pay for preparation or submission of any information submitted in response to this synopsis amendment. See Numbered Note: 22 (0149)
