Notice of Intent to Sole Source the renewal of annual site licenses, in support of NMRC’s Regenerative Medicine Department.

The Naval Medical Logistics Command intends to award a sole source contract under the authority of FAR Part 6.302-1 to DecisionQ Corporation, the renewal of annual site licenses, in support of NMRC’s Regenerative Medicine Department. This is an Annual Minimum Site License for Specified Sites; Faster Analytics Full Suite License for (12) months. The software license includes all modules of Faster Analytics; all users in sites – unlimited users; Maintenance and Support Plus; and Supplemental user support. The software license for DecisionQ Faster Analytics Suite is a continuance of the existing annual service. DecisionQ Corporation is the only company that provides the annual minimum site license for the DecisionQ Faster Analytics Software Full Suite. The software has the unique ability to predict future outcomes when examining data set-as opposed to most analytic software packages which simply use data to describe the past. The Faster Analytics software has been used to: (1) develop new models for risk stratification in cervical cancer, enhancing the ability to identify at-risk women early; (2) combine its extensive knowledge of gene function, combined with advanced microarray techniques and develop novel techniques for promoter arrays; (3) better understand how specific genetic markers combine to predict certain diseases; (4) effectively assist the researchers to ascertain how well certain diagnostic tests are able to predict diseases when combined with additional demographic or medical factors; and (5) better understand which factors lead to medication errors in healthcare institutions. The DecisionQ Faster Analytics software thrives on data-rich projects. The current software package was customized to fit the needs of NMRC which developed unique insights and automated systems for research at the Regenerative Medicine Department. DecisonQ Corporation does not sell its proprietary technology, but does license components to facilitate the implementation of their predictive statistical products. The annual minimum site license was developed specifically for this unique software by DecisionQ. There are no set-aside restrictions for this requirement.
