Notice of Intent to Sole Source for FDA-iRISK® System for Food Safety Risk Assessment - Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)The Food and Drug Administration intends to sole source a three-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract to Risk Sciences International for the ongoing management, technical support, enhancements, and operations and maintenance of the FDA-iRISK system, which includes both the public-facing FDA-iRISK 5.0 and the institutional FDA-iRISK 5.1i versions. This peer-reviewed food safety modeling tool enables users to evaluate and rank risks from microbial and chemical hazards, predict the effectiveness of control measures, and express outcomes in public health metrics, making it a critical asset for FDA regulatory and research activities as well as for external stakeholders in the scientific community. Risk Sciences International is identified as the sole provider capable of meeting the technical requirements due to its exclusive ownership and deep institutional knowledge of the FDA-iRISK system’s architecture and functionality. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 6.302-1 for other than full and open competition, with the NAICS code 541511 for custom computer programming services, and no solicitation document is available for competitive bids. The agency will consider any information submitted by other potential providers by 9:00 AM Eastern Time on July 24, 2026, at Natasha.Abbington@fda.hhs.gov, but an award to Risk Sciences International is expected approximately 15 days after the notice date unless another vendor demonstrates superior capability. This is not a request for proposals, and responses are being solicited solely to inform the government’s decision on whether to pursue competitive award, with final selection based on agency discretion and determinations of cost, technical merit, and program continuity.
