About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health has awarded contract 47QTCA19D00MH to Plexus Scientific Corporation on a sole-source basis for updating and maintaining NIH's AI Use Case Inventory system in compliance with the Advancing American AI Act, Executive Order 13960, and OMB Memorandum M-25-21.
The justification cites FAR 8.405-6(b), items peculiar to one manufacturer, based on the requirement for specialized technical expertise in Plexus Scientific's proprietary Strategic Tracking and Reporting Tools (START) environment, which NIH has used since 2020. START possesses unique characteristics including proprietary software code, unique relational data tables, unique workflows, and proprietary webform functionality. The contractor must update the module webform and dashboards for the 2026 AI Use Case Inventory data call and provide maintenance and operational support for the Integrated Data Platform.
Market research identified four contractors with relevant GSA Multiple Award Schedule contracts for Information Technology Professional Services: Booz Allen Hamilton, Sapient Government Solutions, Deloitte, and Plexus Scientific Corporation. Of these, only Plexus Scientific was identified as a small business. Searches under GSA Advantage and SBCX using "Plexus Scientific" keywords yielded no alternative sources. Quantum Insights was excluded due to a conflict of interest with another START-related requirement.
The period of performance is 12 months. The Contracting Officer will evaluate proposed prices through technical questionnaire review and independent price analysis. NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services); PSC R499 (Support—Professional: Other).
