As most of you know, OSC Martinsburg will be the hosting facility for CG-LIMS once it’s in production.

They are in the process of awarding one of their major contracts for support.  The solicitation calls it “Information Technology Services–Application Product Lines Technology Services (APLES)”

The solicitation was posted on FedBizOpps on 4 February. Proposals are due 15 March.  I shared it with a few of you via e-mail, but thought it was worth a quick post to get the word to everyone on the team.

Everyone working on CG-LIMS may find the solicitation instructive on 2 levels:

1. As an example of a solicitation. Although this is an 8(a) set aside, I’m sure there are portions of it that we can borrow from or use to launch questions of the folks at OSC who put it together.

2. To understand the contract OSC will be relying on for CG-LIMS hosting. The heart of it is Section C. The scope is intentionally broad, which will provide the flexibility needed for us to deploy and maintain the system.
