DESCRIPTION



U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Laboratories and Scientific Services (LSS) is seeking information from interested vendors as part of an acquisition to establish a contract for barcode/QR management system to support a future laboratory information management system (LIMS).



CBP intends to use the information from this RFI for future acquisition plans.



THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION/SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT. It is for informational purposes only. A solicitation is NOT being issued. This Request for Information (RFI) from industry will allow the Government to identify interested sources capable of meeting all requirements. The information sought will be used for planning purposes only.



THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. The Government will not award a contract based on this RFI, nor will the Government pay for any information submitted by respondents. All proprietary or sensitive corporate information must be clearly marked.



This announcement in no way obligates or commits the Government to acquire any product or service. There shall be no basis for claims against the Government, as a result of information submitted in response to this RFI.



BACKGROUND



The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Laboratories and Scientific Services (LSS) is the scientific and forensic arm of CBP. LSS provides rapid, accurate, and reliable scientific and testing services to protect the homeland. The laboratory system is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) for forensics and trade disciplines. LSS currently uses their Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), Laboratory Information Network (LIN), to track sample casework and to report findings of analysis and examination to LSS customers. LSS has approximately 300 users assigned to the LSS, with eight LSS labs across the country, and approximately 20 forwarding operating labs and still increasing. Currently we have approximately 509,279 cases, with an average of 28,000 new cases per year. An Oracle Xadata database currently serves as the repository for LSS cases, reports, and the administrative information since 2000. The current LIMS does not have barcode/QR features/capabilities.



Additional information about LSS can be found at https://www.cbp.gov/about/labs-scientific-svcs#



The scope of this requirement is the development of the high-level goals and objectives necessary to modernize LSS information technology and its IT practices. The scope is to procure a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) barcode/QR management system to enhance the current and future LSS LIMS. The barcode/QR management system must allow customization for use in and adapted to the LSS laboratory environment and its associated workflows. The barcode/QR management system must be flexible and customizable to communicate with LSS LIMS.
