One year contract for licensing and developing a virtual simulation platform with Ai-driven avatars.

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSELocation: Bethesda, MD, 20892, USANAICS: 541715
NoneJustification

The purpose of this procurement is to license a platform that will allow for the development and administration of research studies that investigate clinical and communication-related processes in the context of genetics and genomics. The primary project will focus on development and implementation of the Genetic Literacy Virtual Assessment simulation environment. This will be achieved by formatting, developing, programming, and hosting a virtual simulation environment featuring AI-driven Virtual Human avatars representing simulated patients at varying levels of genetic literacy. Doing so will allow us to examine whether healthcare providers communicate differently about genetics and genetic testing during a simulated autism diagnostic encounter when provided with information about a patient's genetic literacy level in advance. The simulation will serve as a controlled experimental environment for measuring provider communication behavior as the primary outcome, with genetic testing recommendation behavior as a secondary outcome. A secondary project, led by the Immersive Simulation Program (ISP) within the SBRB will use the platform to investigate efficacy of potential clinical genomics communication approaches to enhance prevention behaviors in conjunction with provision of genomic risk information. The Contractor shall work independently with no direct supervision by any Government employee. The Engagement Methods Unit and/or Immersive Simulation Program staff will provide guidance in terms of the technical needs, technological support, and programming assistance that is needed. The Contractor will communicate with the research staff to ensure their work is consistent with the project needs.The Contractor must respond to outstanding questions regarding technological and programming support with EMU and/or ISP staff to resolve any issues or challenges. The PI will ensure the work conducted by the Contractor is acceptable. The Contractor's workstations must be configured and used in a manner consistent with Government information security practices. The virtual simulation environment will consist of Virtual Human avatars with editable features including voice, appearance, and setting. Avatar conversations with participants will be formulated by artificial intelligence integrated into the virtual simulation software, scripted to reflect the behavioral and communicative characteristics of a parent of a newly diagnosed autistic child. The software will be accessible over a secure web browser without requirement for specialized hardware or VR headsets, while also retaining the ability to be access through a VR-based platform. Behavioral evaluation criteria defining what constitutes effective provider communication about genetics and genetic testing in an autism diagnostic context will be specified by the Government. The Contractor will integrate these criteria into the platform's coaching and behavioral analysis reporting system. The platform will support the display of government-furnished video content to designated participants prior to their Virtual Human encounter. The Government will provide the video file in a format compatible with the Contractor's platform. The Contractor will confirm compatible file formats prior to content delivery. Data will be delivered via secure transfer to be arranged by the Government

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), Office of Management (OM), approved a sole-source bridge order to General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) for Administrative Systems Technology Officer Mission Support Services (ASTO MSS) under NIH Information Technology Services BPA No. 75N91023A00005. The bridge provides continuity of mission-support services for NIH OM, the Deputy Director for Management, and the Integrated Data Platform while NIH advances information technology centralization activities and completes a competitive successor acquisition. The action consists of a six-month base period from September 16, 2026, through March 15, 2027, and one six-month option period through September 15, 2027. The sole-source action is authorized under FAR 8.401(b) and the applicable GSA Federal Supply Schedule ordering procedures at GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(1)(i), based on unusual urgency. Conducting a separate competition and contractor transition solely for the interim bridge would create unacceptable delay and risk disruption of ongoing mission-critical services. This justification is limited to the temporary bridge requirement and does not conclude that other sources are incapable of performing the enduring requirement. NIH market research identified qualified sources and competitive vehicles, and NIH intends to compete the successor requirement.

Revvity Electronic Laboratory Notebook FedRAMP Authorization

Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSELocation: Bethesda, MD, 20892, USANAICS: 541511
NoneAward Notice

Based on the market research conducted, the Government proceeded with a fixed-price, sole-source acquisition with Revvity Signals Software, Inc. (Revvity) for the services necessary to obtain FedRAMP Moderate authorization for the Revvity Signals Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN), supporting compliance with NARA/OMB requirements for the transition of Federal records to electronic formats. The contractor is responsible for providing the services necessary to obtain FedRAMP Moderate authorization for the Revvity Signals ELN, including project management, gap remediation, interoperability assurance, and preparation and submission of the FedRAMP authorization package. Revvity is the developer and sole proprietary owner of the Revvity Signals ELN platform used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). As the software owner, Revvity has exclusive access to the platform’s source code, system architecture, and internal development environment. Such access is necessary to perform the security control remediation, interoperability configuration, and technical documentation required to achieve FedRAMP Moderate authorization. No other company, including resellers, integrators, or third-party consultants, has the technical access or authority necessary to modify the Revvity platform to satisfy these requirements. On August 7, 2026, the Government posted a Notice of Intent and invited capability statements from vendors that believed they were capable of performing the work specified in the notice. Responses were due by 9:00 a.m. on August 14, 2026. Four vendors submitted timely responses; however, none demonstrated the technical capability necessary to perform the required services. Specifically, the respondents lacked the proprietary access and requisite authority to perform the necessary FedRAMP remediation activities on the Revvity platform, and none provided a viable approach for obtaining or otherwise addressing the required access and authority. Accordingly, the market research did not identify an alternative source capable of meeting the Government’s requirements, and the acquisition proceeded on a sole-source basis with Revvity.
