About this vehicle
The FDA Electronic Laboratory Notebook IDIQ, awarded to the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration on August 30, 2016, is closed to new orders as of February 28, 2022. This vehicle is no longer active for pursuit.
The master IDIQ carried an $8 million shared ceiling and funded electronic laboratory notebook software, services, and licenses for FDA laboratory operations. Eighteen task orders were awarded over its six-year life, with activity peaking in 2021 at five orders before declining to two orders in 2022. The most recent order was issued on June 28, 2022 — roughly four years ago — and all task orders have since completed performance. Core Informatics, LLC captured 17 of 18 awards and 99.7% of combined potential value; Labanswer Government LLC received one order valued at $46 thousand. All 18 orders funded FDA programs exclusively.
Typical delivery orders ranged from $20 thousand to $300 thousand, with most priced as firm fixed price. Work included Core Informatics concurrent-user software licenses (the dominant contract type across multiple orders), customization and configuration of the electronic laboratory notebook platform for FDA investigators, and time-and-materials support for individual FDA laboratory operations including the Gulf Coast Seafood Laboratory, Moffett Center Proficiency Testing Laboratory, and genomics and cosmetics divisions. Four orders (22%) were set aside for small business; the remaining fourteen were unrestricted. The portfolio obligated $1.5 million against the combined $1.6 million potential value — a 96% utilization rate — indicating the vehicle was heavily leveraged before closure.
With the ordering period expired and all awarded work completed, this vehicle offers no current pursuit opportunity. Firms interested in FDA electronic laboratory notebook modernization should monitor for a successor vehicle or direct FDA solicitations.
