Labware LIMS Development--Amendment 1

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC) Fort Hood is procuring advanced LabWare Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) development and consulting services for the Chemical Test Division at Dugway Proving Ground. This is a sole-source solicitation (RFQ W911S6-26-QA002-001) specifically targeting LabWare, Inc., though all responsible sources may submit capability statements or quotations for consideration. The contract requires LabWare certified consultants with direct access to proprietary source code to complete development of a comprehensive LIMS system capable of interfacing with seven instrument types, including Gas Chromatographs, Mass Spectrometers, and Liquid Chromatographs, with functionality spanning instrument interfacing, projects and studies management, sample processing, chain of custody tracking, and production-ready reporting capabilities. Quotes will be evaluated using a two-factor approach: technical acceptability (assessed on successful access to software code, LabWare programming experience, and past performance) and lowest price among technically acceptable proposals. The response deadline for quotes is January 26, 2026, and offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and meet the small business size standard of $47,000,000 for the Software Publishers NAICS code 513210.

This procurement involves no set-aside designations and is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with LabWare, Inc. as the incumbent and sole-source justification. The contract is a 24-month engagement running from February 2, 2026, through February 1, 2028, with all work anticipated to be performed remotely at Dugway, Utah 84022, though travel costs are included in the contract price if on-site work becomes necessary. The solicitation is structured in two phases and includes line items for LabWare Certified Consultants, Associate Consultants, a Project Advisor, and travel expenses, though specific budget ranges or award values are not disclosed in the available documents. Key deliverables include a development plan, acceptance testing plan and report, system training, and transfer of the completed LIMS to a production environment. Offerors must demonstrate certification as LabWare Consultants with proven capability and experience on existing LIMS implementations, and the government will select based on technical acceptability and lowest price.
