AI Contract Overview

Show more

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price order to QuoData GmbH of Dresden, Germany, for the continued support and specialized enhancements of the ProLab Plus software platform, which is exclusively used to analyze proficiency testing and inter-laboratory study data. The contract, issued under FAR 6.103-1, justifies noncompetitive procurement because QuoData is the sole provider of this proprietary software, which is essential to the FDA’s Human Foods Program for evaluating laboratory performance and supporting accreditation. Market research confirms no alternative solutions exist that can meet the technical requirements, particularly the need for advanced statistical methodologies aligned with ISO standards, which require direct expertise from the original developer beyond standard technical support. The contract structure includes a one-year base period followed by four optional one-year extensions, with a total potential duration of five years. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541611 for Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services. The order will be performed from Silver Spring, Maryland, with procurement managed by the FDA Office of Acquisition and Grant Services based in Rockville, Maryland. Interested parties may submit inquiries by the response deadline of August 4, 2026, but this presolicitation notice does not constitute a request for competitive proposals. Primary and secondary points of contact have been designated for further information regarding the procurement.

5.101 Presolicitation notice.


(vii)For noncompetitive contract actions (including those at or below the SAT), identify the intended source and explain why competition is lacking.



Based on market research conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10, the contracting officer has determined that soliciting from a single source is appropriate for this requirement under the following circumstances: Sole provider of the proprietary ProLab Plus software platform currently used to support proficiency testing and statistical analysis activities. 



The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to solicit a 1-year base and four (4) 1- year option periods, sole source (in accordance with FAR 6.103-1), firm-fixed-price order from QuoData GmbH PRELLERSTR. 14, Dresden, Sachsen, 01309, Germany. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541611 - Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services.



This notice is not a request for competitive proposals.



The FDA’s Human Foods Program utilizes the ProLab Plus software platform, developed and proprietary by Quo Data, for analysis of proficiency testing (PT) and inter-laboratory study data. This platform is integral to evaluating laboratory performance and supporting accreditation efforts.



The PT program has expanded and requires implementation of advanced statistical methods aligned with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards. These capabilities extend beyond the standard technical support provided with the software license and require specialized expertise from the software developer.
