What this contract is for

***THIS IS A COMBINED SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE*** The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing database software to support NIST Radioactive Materials Safety Programs.

To ensure operational continuity, regulatory compliance, and data integrity, RSD requires a modernized software solution to replace this legacy system. Furthermore, this new software must be fully integrated with RSIMS, a newer in-house database that currently manages all other aspects of NIST’s radiation safety program. The purpose of this acquisition is to provide the Environmental Health & Safety Assistant (EHSA) platform, specifically the Radiation Safety Assistant module. This web-based platform will serve as the primary tool to manage dosimetry records and training for radiation workers at NIST. The acquisition of the Environmental Health & Safety Assistant (EHSA) Radiation Safety Assistant module must be procured on a sole-source basis from On Site Systems, Inc., the sole developer and proprietary owner of the platform. Procuring this specific software module from this vendor is the only viable path forward for the Government due to m...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
