DMAP Galaxy Works support for NIDAP Bioinformatics Workflows

This solicitation, identified by number 75N98026Q00474, is a sole-source presolicitation issued by the Omas Strategic Buying Center - Information Technology under the Department of Health and Human Services to secure specialized professional services for supporting the DMAP Galaxy Works platform within the NIDAP Bioinformatics Workflows environment. The contract is justified under FAR 12.102(a) and 41 U.S.C. 1901 due to the unique expertise of GalaxyWorks LLC in the Galaxy software platform and its integration with NIH systems, making it the only source capable of meeting the government’s requirements without unacceptable performance risk. The scope requires maintaining the Galaxy instance on the latest supported version, resolving critical bugs such as dropdown parameter rendering issues, enabling independent execution of workflow nodes, supporting custom Python tool development, managing version-controlled workflows, developing new workflows, integrating NIH-compliant authentication via NIH login/iTrust, and producing end-user training materials. All work must comply with federal IT security and data privacy standards, particularly those mandated by NIH and the Office of the Chief Information Officer. The place of performance is Rockville, Maryland, and responses must be submitted via email to the designated contracting personnel by the deadline of July 7, 2026, at 11:00 AM EST. No competitive evaluation factors, pricing details, or period of performance are specified in this presolicitation, as the award is anticipated to be non-competitive based solely on the uniqueness of the vendor’s capabilities. The contractor must be registered in SAM.gov with a valid UEI, and while no socioeconomic or small business status is disclosed, the NAICS code 541512 applies. No specific invoicing methods, payment office details, or accounting codes are provided, and no inspection criteria, packaging requirements, or COR/COTR designations are listed. The government retains sole authority for acceptance, and any deviation from GalaxyWorks LLC as the provider would expose critical bioinformatics operations to significant delays, rework, and operational disruption.
