About this file
This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole source contract awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center to ArgonSoft. The contract is for a Firm-Fixed-Price Software Maintenance Agreement for the existing Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that ArgonSoft previously installed in the PET department. The period of performance is twelve (12) months, and the contract covers phone support and software updates involving 200 hours of main support, including web support, phone calls/video chat, and bug fixes/remote upgrades.
ArgonSoft was selected as the sole vendor because they are the designer/manufacturer of the NIH LIMS system. Market research was conducted using various government and commercial databases, and after an extensive query, only ArgonSoft was found capable of meeting the complex deliverables. The company is a small business located in Budapest, Hungary. The solicitation notice will be published on FBO, and the NIH is seeking to provide opportunities for prospective contractors to become familiar with their specialized acquisition requirements through potential future industry days and business events.
