AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Versaterm Public Safety US Inc. for annual maintenance and support of the JusticeTrax LIMS-plus system, a proprietary laboratory information management system critical to the National Fish and Wildlife Forensic Laboratory in Ashland, Oregon. The system manages chain of custody, analytical results, and case reporting for wildlife law enforcement investigations and must remain operational without interruption to preserve evidence integrity and maintain ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Versaterm is the only source capable of providing maintenance due to proprietary database schema, specialized tools, licensed software, and exclusive technical knowledge required to support the system, making third-party alternatives incompatible and unacceptable risks to mission continuity and accreditation. The contract includes a base year and four one-year option periods, with performance occurring both at the laboratory and remotely from the vendor’s facility. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541511 for custom computer programming services and PSC DH01 for IT and telecom platform support services, with a potential total value up to $34 million over the full contract term. This notice is not a solicitation for bids but a public announcement allowing interested parties to submit capability statements demonstrating if they can provide equivalent, fully compatible maintenance services without disrupting operations or accreditation. Responses must be submitted by email as a Word or PDF attachment to the designated point of contact by July 2, 2026, and will be used solely for market research; no contract awards will result from submissions, no costs incurred will be reimbursed, and no telephone inquiries will be accepted. The government retains full discretion over whether to proceed as a sole source based on any submitted information.

Description:
USFWS intends to award a firm-fixed-price sole source contract to Versaterm Public Safety US Inc. for annual maintenance and support of the JusticeTrax LIMS-plus data management system used by NFWFL to manage chain of custody, analytical results, and case reporting for wildlife law enforcement investigations. The laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, and uninterrupted operation of the current LIMS is required to maintain case record continuity.
Sole-Source Justification (Summary):
JusticeTrax LIMS-plus is a proprietary system maintained by Versaterm. Database schema, application updates, and integrations require vendor-exclusive tools, licenses, and technical knowledge. Replacement or third-party maintenance would introduce unacceptable risks to evidence integrity, accreditation compliance, and mission continuity. Therefore, Versaterm is the only responsible source capable of providing maintenance and support that satisfies agency requirements.
This notice is not a request for quotes. However, interested parties who believe they can meet the Government's requirements may submit a written capability statement that clearly demonstrates their ability to provide equivalent, fully compatible maintenance without disrupting operations or accreditation.
Responses are for market research only and will not result in a contract award. The Government will not reimburse any costs incurred for responding. No telephone inquiries will be accepted. A determination by the Government not to compete based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: Lawrence_aragon@ios.doi.gov.
