The Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center for Cancer Research (CCR) is seeking to procure a modular, web-based asset management software system to support operations across five core facilities and other shared resources. The software must provide core facility service request management, enhanced sample management functionality, equipment reservation and usage tracking, billing and invoicing, reporting capabilities, and lab requisitioning and spent tracking tools, with the ability to integrate with institutional financial systems and provide customizable sample sheets. The NCI plans to sole-source this requirement from Agilent Technologies Inc. under FAR Part 12 for commercial items, though interested parties, especially small businesses, may submit capability statements or proposals demonstrating their technical capabilities and transition plans with minimal operational disruption. Responses must be submitted via email to Contracting Officer Renee Jones-Chuang at renee.jones-chuang@nih.gov by July 18, 2025, and contractors must be registered in SAM.GOV to be eligible for award. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541519 with a business size standard of $34 million and will be processed under FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1).
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and appears to be a renewal of the existing iLab Operations Software system currently supporting the CCR's operations.
