- Chemware/Horizon LIMS
Description
The Rock River Water Reclamation District (RRWRD) solicited a modern Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to replace its legacy mainframe‑based laboratory software. The solution must integrate with existing instrumentation, support FTP data exchange with the district’s STREAMS system, comply with 21 CFR Part 11, NELAC, and ISO 17025, and be deliverable as a browser‑based, cloud‑hosted or virtualized platform. The solicitation followed a standard RFI/RFP process, with a mandatory pre‑response conference, on‑site demonstrations, and a sealed‑bid submission deadline. The award was anticipated for late August 2018, with the contract to be executed within ten business days of award. The selected vendor, Chemware/Horizon LIMS, is expected to deliver full software, implementation services, training, and ongoing support. Key contract requirements include insurance coverage, fair‑employment affidavits, Illinois DHR registration, detailed technical responses, financial disclosures, and adherence to tax‑exempt status.
