eProtocol and Lab Animal Resource System (LARS) Software Licenses

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price purchase order to Key Solutions, Inc. for eProtocol and Lab Animal Resource System (LARS) software licenses. The eProtocol software manages the agency's animal care program, supporting procurement, record keeping, data collection, reporting, and billing. Its Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) module ensures protocol review, traceability, and compliance oversight. The LARS module streamlines end-to-end animal management activities. Both licenses include support for up to 50 active IACUC users, 16 hours of web-based training, an annual maintenance agreement, custom services, and data migration services. This acquisition is for supplies and services for which the government intends to negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.103-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1). The applicable NAICS code is 541511, Custom Computer Software Programming Services.
