MIM Licenses and Maintenance (Notice of Intent to Sole Source)

The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center is procuring MIM software licenses and maintenance services through a sole source procurement from MIMsoftware. The NIH requires these medical imaging analysis and visualization tools to maintain current MIM Research products at their latest revision levels and provide technical support for critical patient care operations. The procurement includes one MIM-EN-SD license upgrade to MIM Encore, multiple one-year software upgrade and support service packages for various MIM licenses including SurePlan MRT and Encore concurrent licenses. MIMsoftware is justified as the sole source vendor due to their exclusive capability to maintain and upgrade the existing MIM Research licenses, particularly their integration with the Veriton SD400 SPECT/CT scanner used in Nuclear Medicine. The software has been in daily use by the Radiology and Imaging Sciences department for over 10 years in research projects and several years in clinical applications, making continuity essential for patient care and research data integrity. Responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due by August 28, 2025.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and will proceed as an unrestricted procurement. MIMsoftware appears to be the incumbent contractor, having provided the software and services for several years, with no known alternative vendors or official resellers identified by the agency. The specific requirements include one MIM-EN-SD upgrade license, one SurePlan MRT concurrent license support package, one MIM-SSSTSU support package, three MIM-EN-CC support packages, and one MIM SD concurrent license support package. All support and upgrade services are structured for a one-year coverage period. The procurement supports the NIH Clinical Center's operations as a 234-bed biomedical research hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, which handles approximately 7,000 inpatient and 70,000 outpatient visits annually. No specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in the pre-solicitation documentation.
