Genomics LIMS Phase I was completed in December 2017 and involved three tasks.
Phase II will develop the full Millennium Helix solution, based on the prototype, and deploy it to the all the genomic labs. The Millennium Helix prototype is hosted in an external cloud environment to validate the proof of concept in a production environment. Phase II involves the transfer of the Millennium Helix license from the Huntington, WV VAMC non-production environment to the Tampa production environment, configuring all the genomic labs to operate in a Millennium Helix single domain with the transferred license from Huntington, WV and implementation of Cerner Millennium Helix and the RLN. Phase II implementation is to configure and integrate the RLN connection and instrument interfaces to all labs into a single domain.
The scope of work sought includes: “The Contractor shall transfer the Millennium Helix license from the Huntington, WV VAMC non-production environment to the Tampa, FL VAMC production environment and validate the Tampa VAMC genomic laboratory is capable of Millennium Helix operation and access. After solution is tested and accepted at the Tampa location the Contractor shall deploy the Cerner Millennium Helix capabilities and services to the other six VA genomic laboratories; Washington D.C., West Haven, Little Rock, New Orleans, San Antonio, and Los Angeles. The Contractor shall configure the Tampa, FL facility and the other VAMC genomic facilities to operate in a Millennium Helix single domain with the transferred license from Huntington, WV.”
The Period of Performance (POP) shall be 12 months from date of award with one optional task.
The POP for the Genomic Facility Configuration and Testing optional task shall be 60 days from exercise and can be exercised up to three times.
Responses are due by July 10, 2018.
