AI Contract Overview
The Department of Health and Human Services, Indian Health Service, Western Oregon Service Unit intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price commercial purchase order to Data Innovations LLC for the upgrade and training of its existing Data Innovations Instrument Manager (IM) software used in laboratory diagnostics interfacing with the RPMS Laboratory Package. The contract encompasses a standard upgrade implementation, including discovery, planning, testing support, production cutover, limited post-deployment support, and IM Core Training for up to four government personnel. The upgrade services will be delivered over a period of up to fifteen months, with work performed remotely and/or on-site as needed. The Government retains its existing software licensing and support but requires Data Innovations LLC’s proprietary upgrade implementation and training services.

While this notice is not a solicitation for competitive bids, the Government invites capable sources to submit capability statements by June 22, 2026, demonstrating their ability to perform these proprietary services, though the Government may proceed with sole-source award if no qualified alternatives are identified. The point of contact for inquiries and responses is Jacob Blalock at the Indian Health Service, with the place of performance in Salem, Oregon. The anticipated procurement supports maintaining and enhancing the Government’s existing laboratory instrument middleware environment to ensure continued operational effectiveness.
