AI Contract Overview
The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, intends to award a six-month sole-source bridge contract to Medidata Solutions, Inc., for the continued provision of Medidata Remote Source Review (RSR) as a Software-as-a-Service solution to support mission-critical clinical trial monitoring operations. This action is necessary to maintain uninterrupted access and functionality for authorized users and clinical trial stakeholders while a non-competitive procurement process is developed. The contract will encompass all required components of the SaaS offering, including software subscriptions, licenses, hosting, maintenance, updates, technical support, and related services, with Medidata being the exclusive provider due to proprietary restrictions that prevent other vendors from offering equivalent hosting or service capabilities. The acquisition is being conducted under the existing contract 75N93026P00007, justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions for single-source procurement, with the North American Industry Classification System code 513210 indicating the category of Software Publishers and a small business size standard of $47 million in annual receipts. All responsible sources are invited to submit a capability statement by email to Contracting Officer Christopher Shih at christopher.shih@hhs.gov no later than 3:00 PM EST on June 4, 2026, to provide evidence of their ability to meet the requirement, although no competitive evaluation will be conducted unless the government determines a change in sole-source justification. Responses must be in writing and contain sufficient detail for the Office of Mission Acquisition Solutions to assess capability, and all correspondence must reference HHS-OMAS-2026-03. While this is a presolicitation notice and not a request for competitive bids, award eligibility requires prospective contractors to maintain active registration and valid certification in SAM.gov. The contract will be performed out of Rockville, Maryland, and any decision to proceed with a modification to the current contract is at the sole discretion of the government. There is no specified contract value, pricing structure, or detailed performance metrics included in the notice, and no special contract clauses, inspection criteria, or invoicing instructions have been provided beyond the requirement for SAM registration and the deadline for submissions.
