About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for a Cloverleaf security server system from Infor (US), LLC. This is a special notice indicating the agency's intention to award a firm fixed price purchase order to Infor, located in Alpharetta, Georgia, without competitive bidding. The acquisition falls under the medical instruments, equipment, and supplies category with NAICS code 339112 for surgical and medical instrument manufacturing. The contract will be performed in Bethesda, Maryland, and is being processed under FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The notice was posted on August 21, 2025, with a response deadline of September 11, 2025.
The purpose of this sole source acquisition is to procure maintenance services for the Cloverleaf interface system, which is deemed mission-critical for supporting patient care activities at the NIH Clinical Center. The government justifies the sole source approach because Infor is the proprietary developer of the Secure Server Systems, does not permit third-party maintenance, and will not release source code to other entities. Interested parties may respond to identify their interest and capabilities by September 11, 2025, though this is not a request for quotations and no solicitation document will be issued. The government reserves complete discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award based on any responses received. Contractors should note that this acquisition is conducted under simplified acquisition procedures, which exempt it from standard competition requirements, and the contracting officer has determined that only one source is reasonably available for this requirement.
