D -- OPUS LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM

The Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Correctional Complex in Butner, North Carolina, plans to issue a firm-fixed price, sole source purchase order to Opus Healthcare, based in Austin, Texas, for laboratory information system software support services. This contract is being awarded non-competitively because Opus Healthcare is the original owner and developer of the existing laboratory information system software, and the agency believes no other vendor can meet their specialized requirements. The procurement is conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and is justified under the regulation allowing other than full and open competition. This notice serves an informational purpose, outlining the Government’s intent and allowing consideration of any information received after its publication. The contract falls under the NAICS code 541511, indicating a focus on custom computer programming services. The primary points of contact managing this procurement are Janet M. Hobgood, Lead Contract Specialist, and Mary E. Doyle, Supervisory Contract Specialist, both reachable at the Federal Correctional Complex in Butner. The agency’s decision reflects the need to maintain continuity and specialized support for critical laboratory software systems within the Federal Correctional Complex.
