Progenesis QI Software Acquisition

The contract seeks the acquisition of a single commercial perpetual license for Progenesis QI Software, along with associated activation credentials and commercial documentation, under a firm-fixed-price arrangement. This is a straightforward procurement of software with no additional services such as system development, hosting, contractor access to FDA systems, or ongoing support. The software must be delivered within 90 calendar days of contract award to the specified location in St. Louis, Missouri, and must fully conform to the Revised 508 Accessibility Standards, requiring the contractor to provide an Accessibility Conformance Report using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). All submissions must be made electronically via email to the contracting officer, using macro-free Microsoft Office formats, and must include the offeror’s Unique Entity Identifier. The evaluation process follows a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where proposals must meet all technical requirements to be considered, and award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer without negotiations or clarifications. Pricing details are not provided in the solicitation, and no estimated contract value is available due to incomplete cost data in the line-item schedule. The contract incorporates a comprehensive set of federal regulations addressing cybersecurity, supply chain security, ethics, and employee rights, including prohibitions on software or services from Kaspersky Lab, ByteDance, Huawei, ZTE, Hikvision, Dahua, and other covered entities under the Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act. Contractors must adhere to strict ethical standards, whistleblower protections, and equal opportunity requirements, and must ensure compliance with federal payment protocols through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with no alternative invoicing methods permitted. Delivery and acceptance occur at the designated location, with the Government having up to ten business days to accept or reject the product, and the contractor given thirty days to remedy any deficiencies. No packaging, preservation, or marking specifications are required, and there are no key personnel or subcontracting plan obligations specified. While option periods are referenced under FAR 52.217-7, they remain unfunded at award and would require subsequent modifications should the Government choose to exercise them. All offerors must provide certification of Section 508 compliance and affirm that they do not use prohibited technologies, with noncompliance resulting in automatic disqualification.
