    1301239856 STATEMENT OF WORK graphpad 2025.pdf
    The NMRC seeks to procure a user-friendly statistical software program, specifically requiring a 125-seat license for Graphpad, that facilitates the efficient transformation of raw data into professional graphical presentations. The software must be accessible to both technicians and principal investigators without extensive training, ensuring smooth collaboration between researchers. Compatibility with existing programs and silent deployment through enterprise management systems is essential. Support for 125 simultaneous users is required, along with modifiable licenses managed centrally.

As an unclassified effort, this project emphasizes the need for effective data management and analysis tools to support ongoing research initiatives at NMRC.
    NMRC Redacted SSJustification_KOSigned_1301239856.pdf
    The Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) seeks to renew a contract for 125 licenses of GraphPad Prism software, essential for their research needs. The sole source contract is awarded to GraphPad Software, LLC, as it is the only vendor authorized for these licenses. Maintaining access to this software is crucial for over 100 NMRC researchers, as switching to an alternative would result in data incompatibility and hinder collaboration with other institutions like the NIH. The justification cites the statutory exception of sole source acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and emphasizes the software's ease of use and DoD approval. A market survey conducted revealed that GraphPad remains the only viable option, with earlier contracts also being sole source. Anticipated costs for renewal are set at $36,250, deemed fair through a price analysis. In the future, NMRC will comply with regulations to improve competition if new sources arise, although there are currently no plans to change the procurement strategy.
