DESCRIPTION

The organization is seeking a vendor to provide and implement a configurable commercial laboratory information management system (LIMS). The solution should support laboratory workflows across sample lifecycle management, quality management, laboratory reporting, inventory management, instrument integration, external client services, secure data storage, and related operational requirements. Relevant experience in veterinary, public health, environmental, food safety, or diagnostic laboratory environments is required, along with comparable laboratory deployments and client references.

The implementation is expected to use a configuration-first methodology that minimizes custom software development and follows a structured project management approach. The vendor will be responsible for integrations, testing and stabilization, data migration, and go-live support. Ongoing services should include future update planning, continuous improvement workshops, software quality assurance, testing methodologies, customer satisfaction measurement, and the availability of appropriate support resources. The contract period will be five years. Questions must be submitted by September 23, 2026.
