AI Contract Overview
The National Institutes of Health, Clinical Center, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to QIAGEN LLC for the annual maintenance and license renewal of the CLC Genomics Workbench software suite, covering three server execution nodes, one server, and three workbench licenses. The period of performance spans from August 29, 2026, to August 28, 2027, with delivery and performance occurring at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The software is critical for supporting molecular diagnostics, next-generation and Sanger sequencing data analysis, and validated clinical workflows for human, mouse, and microbial genomes within the Department of Laboratory Medicine. Replacement with alternative software is not feasible due to extensive revalidation requirements, operational disruptions, and risks to patient care timelines. The acquisition is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing QIAGEN LLC as the exclusive provider of the validated software, making it the only reasonably available source. Though this notice does not constitute a solicitation, interested parties may submit capability statements demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement, including company details, technical proof, OEM authorization, and past performance, no later than July 17, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time. All submissions must reference POTS 26-005973 and be sent electronically to the designated point of contact at NIH.

Description
This Notice of Intent (NOI) is issued for informational purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Quotations (RFQ). The Government does not intend to solicit competitive quotations for this requirement.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Clinical Center, Office of Acquisitions and Logistics Management (OALM), intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to QIAGEN LLC, 19300 Germantown Road, Germantown, Maryland 20874-1415, for the annual maintenance and license renewal of the CLC Genomics Workbench software suite, including associated server maintenance and software modules required to support clinical genomic analysis. The anticipated period of performance is from August 29, 2026, to August 28, 2027.
The following items are required for this procurement:
Product Name/Product Code/ Quantity
CLC Genomics Server Execution Node/832633/3
CLC Genomics Server/832630/1
CLC Genomics Workbench CL/832609/3
Background
The Department of Laboratory Medicine (DLM) relies on the CLC Genomics Workbench to support molecular diagnostics, bioinformatics analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing data, and validated clinical workflows for human, mouse, and microbial genomes. The software provides integrated analysis tools that are essential for patient testing, research, and laboratory operations.
Sole Source Rationale
QIAGEN LLC is the exclusive provider of the CLC Genomics Workbench software and associated maintenance services. The existing software has been validated within DLM's clinical laboratory environment. Replacing the software with an alternate product would require extensive revalidation of laboratory workflows, increase costs, interrupt clinical operations, and could delay patient diagnosis and treatment.
Authority
This acquisition is being conducted pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), Soliciting from a Single Source. Under this authority, the Contracting Officer may solicit from a single source when only one source is reasonably available to satisfy the Government's requirements.
