Notice text
NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT
Title: CLC Genomics Workbench Software Maintenance and License Renewal
Notice ID (POTS): 26-005973
Product Service Code (PSC): 7A21 – IT and Telecom Business Application Software
NAICS Code: 513210 – Software Publishers

Description
This Notice of Intent (NOI) is issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Quotations (RFQ). The Government does not intend to solicit competitive quotations for this requirement.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center, Office of Acquisitions and Logistics Management (OALM), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to QIAGEN LLC, 19300 Germantown Road, Germantown, Maryland 20874-1415, for the annual maintenance and license renewal of the CLC Genomics Workbench software suite, including associated server maintenance and software modules required to support clinical genomic analysis. The anticipated period of performance is from August 29, 2026, to August 28, 2027.
The following items are required for this procurement:
Product Name/Product Code/ Quantity
CLC Genomics Server Execution Node/832633/3
CLC Genomics Server/832630/1
CLC Genomics Workbench CL/832609/3
Background
The Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM) relies on the CLC Genomics Workbench to support molecular diagnostics, bioinformatics analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing data, and validated clinical workflows for human, mouse, and microbial genomes. The software provides integrated analysis tools that are essential for patient testing, research, and laboratory operations.
Sole Source Rationale
QIAGEN LLC is the exclusive provider of the CLC Genomics Workbench software and associated maintenance services. The existing software has been validated within DLM's clinical laboratory environment. Replacing the software with an alternate product would require extensive revalidation of laboratory workflows, increase costs, interrupt clinical operations, and could delay patient diagnosis and treatment.
Authority
This acquisition is being conducted pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a Single Source. Under this authority, the Contracting Officer may solicit from a single source when only one source is reasonably available to satisfy the Government's requirements.
