Quick Summary
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Indian Health Service (IHS), Bemidji Area intends to award a Firm Fixed-Priced Contract on a sole source basis to Applied Software Inc. for the MagView mammography tracking program at the Red Lake Hospital in Red Lake, MN. This action is justified under FAR 13.501(a) due to the proprietary nature of the software and existing system integration. Responses from interested parties are due by May 1, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the MagView mammography tracking program, which is proprietary to Applied Software Inc. This software is essential for the Red Lake Hospital to maintain MQSA compliance and reporting, as the facility is inspected annually by MQSA/FDA. The current system includes a Cimarron interface within the RIS system that allows MagView to integrate with RPMS. The estimated value of this action is $23,715.00.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Firm Fixed-Priced Contract (Sole Source)
- Authority: FAR 13.501(a) - only one source reasonably available
- NAICS Code: 518210 - Data Processing, Hosting and Related Services
- Set-Aside: Not Applicable (Sole Source)
- Response Due: May 1, 2026, at 7:00 PM ET
- Published: April 1, 2026
- Place of Performance: Redlake, MN 56671, United States
Justification & Rationale
The sole source award to Applied Software Inc. is justified because the MagView software is proprietary and already in use. Replacing it would require purchasing another interface, which would not be beneficial to the government. The existing system ensures proper MQSA compliance and seamless integration with the hospital's RIS/RPMS system.
