Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Cloverleaf Disaster Recovery License

This procurement is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source Infor Cloverleaf software licenses and support services for the NIH Clinical Center’s Disaster Recovery environment, issued under FAR Part 13 – Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The acquisition is justified under Subpart 13.106-1(b)(1), which permits non-competitive awards when only one source is reasonably available to meet the requirement, eliminating the need for competitive solicitation or quotation requests. The software is essential for maintaining HL7 messaging and FHIR interoperability across critical clinical systems, ensuring the Disaster Recovery environment fully mirrors production capabilities to guarantee operational continuity. The place of performance is Bethesda, Maryland, and the contract will be administered by the NIH Clinical Center’s Office of Purchasing and Contracts. Comments on this intent must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Ryssa Nix by April 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST, and no formal proposals or quotations are being sought. The NAICS code is 541519, and the solicitation number is NOI-OD-26-005507, posted on April 24, 2026. No contract value, pricing, delivery schedule, or specific performance metrics are provided, as this is a pre-solicitation notice. No FAR 52.2 clauses, packaging requirements, inspection procedures, or special contract terms are detailed in the documentation, consistent with the streamlined nature of simplified acquisitions. Payment, invoicing, accounting codes, COR/COTR assignments, and firm-fixed-price structure are not specified, as these will be finalized in the subsequent award. The sole-source determination is based on the unique and non-competitive nature of Infor Cloverleaf for this specific integration need, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status requirements are applicable.
