Description

This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals. This is not a solicitation or request for oƯers. No solicitation package is available, and email requests will not be honored. Only one (1) responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

This Notice of Intent to Sole Source acquisition under the procedures of FAR Part 12 and FAR Subpart 13.5 in accordance with 41.U.S.C 1901 for a commercial item not exceeding $7.5 million. Acquisitions conducted under simplified acquisition procedures are exempt from the requirements in Part 6.

The OƯice of the Chief Information OƯicer (OCIO) intends to award a sole source contract to Datavant Inc to provide bridge support continuation of end-to-end data delivery integral to the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) data ecosystem associated with the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) platform. The Government anticipates the bridge/continuation of services performance period not to exceed eight (8) months.

Datavant is the only source capable of continuing this support at this time as the N3C platform currently is based oƯ of Datavant’s proprietary tokenization engine critical to the deidentification, harmonization and the end-to-end data delivery outcome. The data partners that comprise the basis of the platform are linkable only through Datavant’s PPRL technology, thus the critical continuation of support for the short bridge/continuation period.

The bridge/continuation acquisition will be made utilizing Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP), in conjunction with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services procedures with award anticipated by September 26, 2025.
