The publicizing of this notice is in accordance with Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation (RFO) 5.101(a). This will be procured as a new award, based on the Contracting Officer’s determination that only one source is available to meet the Government’s requirements.

2.0 UNIQUE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE CONTRACTOR

Revvity Signals Software Inc (Revvity), is the developer and sole proprietary owner of the Revvity ELN platform used by NIH.  As the software owner, Revvity has exclusive access to the platform's source code, system architecture, and internal development environment, which is required to perform the security control remediation, interoperability configuration, and technical documentation necessary to achieve FedRAMP Moderate authorization. No other company, including resellers, integrators, or third-party consultants, has the technical access or authority to modify Revvity's platform to meet these requirements.

An assessment of commercially available sources was completed during market research and confirmed that Revvity is the sole source capable of performing this work, as the effort requires direct access to and modification of Revvity's proprietary source code, system architecture, and internal development processes in order to achieve FedRAMP Moderate compliance. No other contractor has the requisite access or authority to perform the remediation and authorization work on Revvity's behalf. Accordingly, no existing multiple-award or Government-wide contract vehicle was identified that could fulfill this specific requirement, since award through such a vehicle would still require Revvity's direct participation and does not eliminate the sole-source nature of the requirement.

For the reasons detailed above, Revvity, is uniquely qualified to provide comprehensive support services to submit the FedRAMP Moderate authorization package for Revvity ELN.
