Solicitation number 385970 "laboratory information management system (LMS)”

Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure (H2C) is soliciting proposals for a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) under solicitation number 385970, representing a pre-solicitation notice posted on December 18, 2025. The procurement falls under the Custom Computer Programming Services NAICS category (541511) and supports H2C's prime contract with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of River Protection (contract number 89303324DEM000096). Prospective contractors should note that proposals are due by January 6, 2026, providing an 19-day response window from the posting date. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify detailed evaluation criteria or contract requirements at this stage, interested parties should monitor for the full solicitation release, which will contain comprehensive technical specifications, performance standards, and evaluation methodologies.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified contractors. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify a current incumbent contractor, potential award values, or specific budget ranges at this time. These critical financial details, along with detailed statement of work requirements, timeline expectations, and performance metrics, will likely be disclosed in the formal solicitation document. Contractors interested in this opportunity should prepare to demonstrate expertise in laboratory information system design, implementation, and integration capabilities while maintaining compliance with Department of Energy standards and security requirements. The lack of detailed scope information in the pre-solicitation phase suggests that contractors should anticipate a comprehensive and technically demanding full solicitation.
