The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), operating under the Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a Special Notice indicating its intent to award a sole source contract to Key Solutions, Inc. for the continued provision and support of the eProtocol and Lab Animal Resource System (LARS) software. This procurement is managed by the CDC Office of Acquisition Services, with the primary place of performance located in Atlanta, Georgia.
The purpose of this procurement is to maintain and enhance the CDC’s animal care program management through the use of Key Solutions’ proprietary eProtocol modules. These modules are integral to the agency’s operations, supporting comprehensive functions such as animal procurement and ordering, record keeping, data collection, reporting, and billing. A critical component of the system is the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocol compliance module, which ensures consistent and thorough protocol review, maintains full traceability of activities, simplifies role-based access for users, and strengthens compliance oversight across the agency.
Additionally, the Lab Animal Resource System (LARS) module is utilized to streamline the entire lifecycle of laboratory animal management, from initial requisition through daily operational oversight. This end-to-end solution is essential for the CDC’s ability to efficiently manage its animal resources and maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
The procurement is classified under NAICS code 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with a Product Service Code of DA10. There are no set-aside requirements associated with this notice, indicating that the opportunity is not restricted to small businesses or other socioeconomic categories. The notice is currently active, with a response deadline set for May 12, 2026.
Contractors considering this opportunity should note that the CDC intends to proceed with a sole source award to Key Solutions, Inc., based on the unique capabilities and existing integration of their software within the agency’s infrastructure. Interested parties may contact Felipe Cardenas at [email protected] or 678-475-4988 for further information or to express interest prior to the response deadline.
This procurement is expected to ensure the continuity and integrity of the CDC’s animal care program management systems, supporting the agency’s mission-critical research and compliance activities over the contract lifecycle.
