The PRB has highly technical requirements to accommodate the storage of ultrasound images, interface with the hospitals electronic medical records, coordination of clinical and specimen databases, computer support for lab equipment and general desktop support for all the PRB computers. Since the PRB is off NIH campus, all of these services are procured from vendors in a close proximity to the PRB. Given the complexity of the existing network and infrastructure and the vendor's already established technical relationships with Wayne State University and Detroit Medical Center (where the PRB is housed), it would require significant time, effort and expense before another vendor could be in a position to provide these services and resulting in a duplication of work/effort.
