RFP for Flow Cytometry Analysis Application

University of Michigan is seeking proposals to evaluate and select a new flow cytometry analysis software solution to replace its expiring FlowJo license. The scope includes functional fit, licensing models, total cost of ownership, and compliance with university security, accessibility, and sustainability requirements. Vendors must submit detailed pricing, licensing options, implementation plans, and all required certifications (cybersecurity, accessibility, export control, etc.). • Evaluate and propose a flow cytometry analysis software (e.g., FCS Express or comparable) with licensing, support, and training options. • Provide a cost breakdown, firm‑fixed‑price assessment phase, and compliance documentation (BAA, DSA, sustainability, cybersecurity, accessibility). • Meet University of Michigan’s procurement policies, including preference for Michigan‑based vendors and adherence to standard agreements “as‑is.” • Deadline for submission is 7 Oct 2026 7:00 PM EDT; the current FlowJo contract expires 31 Jul 2026, creating a tight implementation timeline.
