LabWare Software

The Texas Department of State Health Services requires LabWare software along with comprehensive maintenance and operations services. The agency is seeking to enhance its current LabWare Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) by implementing an interface with the iConnect application. This integration will enable electronic test ordering and reporting for clinical chemistry and public health microbiological testing. The project scope includes interfacing the newly developed Texas Laboratory Online (TLO) system with the existing LabWare LIMS to facilitate the secure reporting of test results and other patient-specific data. This enhancement aims to align system capacity and establish a modernized supply, order, and test reporting standard. The agency is solving the problem of handling the state's growing epidemiological needs, which became apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bidders must be onshore organizations based entirely in the United States. The agency requires all performance of the work to occur offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit. The agency will conduct a pre-bid meeting on May 29, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 3, 2026. The evaluation criteria will focus on the vendor's ability to deliver the specified LabWare software, maintenance services, and system integration.
