About this opportunity
The Department of the Army, acting through ASA/OMAS, awarded a fixed-price, sole-source contract to The Emmes Company, LLC on August 28, 2026, for $183,628.02 to continue operation, maintenance, security support, user access administration, and planned decommissioning of VRC websites and associated data systems.
Performance runs from September 15, 2026, through September 14, 2027. The systems include VRCStudy, VRCReportingTool, VRC Data Warehouse, and two Advantage eClinical platforms. Emmes is the incumbent contractor that built the databases and possesses exclusive expertise in system architecture, configurations, user access controls, security requirements, and hosting environment. The Government posted a Notice of Intent on August 4, 2026, requesting capability statements with an August 10 response deadline; four vendors responded but were found technically unacceptable. Market research confirmed no other source could maintain the proprietary environment in its existing configuration and preserve read-only access through transition without service interruption. The Government's Independent Government Cost Estimate supported the fixed price as reasonable and representing best value, avoiding transition costs estimated to exceed $1 million if a new vendor were engaged.
Notice text
Based on the market research conducted, the Government proceeded with a fixed-price, sole-source acquisition to The Emmes Company, LLC to continue operation, maintenance, security support, user access administration, and planned decommissioning of the existing VRC websites and associated data systems. Emmes is the only identified source capable of maintaining the current proprietary environment in its existing configuration, preserving read-only access through the transition period, applying required security patches, and completing decommissioning activities without interruption to service.
The Government posted a Notice of Intent on August 4, 2026 requesting for capability statements from vendors that believe they are capable of doing the work as specified in the notice. The response date was August 10, 2026 by 9:00am. Four vendors responded by the time noted, but all four were found to be technically unacceptable to perform the services required. As a result, the contract was not awarded competitively.
