The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) are seeking competitive bids for the Labware Clinical Chemistry Migration project. The project involves the configuration and implementation of the Labware Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to replace the existing Harvest LIMS used by the DSHS Laboratory. The required services include requirements gathering, configuration, interfacing with 9 instruments, reporting, and go-live support. The response deadline is November 20, 2023, and the anticipated contract start date is the date of award. The initial contract term is from the date of award through August 31, 2024, with the option to extend for up to one additional year. The evaluation will be based on the bidder's ability to meet the specifications, delivery requirements, and price, with the award going to the bidder providing the best value to the state.

The solicitation is open to all vendors, with no stated preference for local vendors or set-aside designations. There is no incumbent provider identified, as this is a new service. Vendors will be required to submit firm fixed pricing on the provided Pricing Sheet, and hourly rate pricing will not be accepted. The state will consider additional benefits proposed by vendors, and pricing must conform to the requirements outlined in the solicitation. The HHS Uniform Terms and Conditions, including the Data Use Agreement, will apply to the resulting contract.
