Notice ID 75F40125Q00083<\/p>\n

The purpose of this acquisition is to allow CDER to retain IT services for planning, development, and maintenance of OneNexus, an enterprise-wide workflow and knowledge management platform. The platform is necessary to allow CDER to meet obligations under several pieces of legislation, including PDUFA, GDUFA, BsUFA, OMUFA, CARES, 21st Century Cures, and others. The acquisition will serve as a logical follow-on to the existing Order 75F40121A00008\/75F40122F19004.<\/p>\n

This acquisition will allow CDER to retain IT services for planning, development, and maintenance of OneNexus, an enterprise-wide workflow and knowledge management platform. The platform is necessary to allow CDER to meet obligations under several pieces of legislation, including PDUFA, GDUFA, BsUFA, OMUFA, CARES, 21st Century Cures, and others.<\/p>\n

In 2018 the Center for Drug Evaluation Research (CDER) began a multi-year effort to modernize its Workflow Management (WFM} systems. The Center’s goal was to take advantage of improved technology, thus enhancing business processes and knowledge management that support its ability to protect the health and safety of the American public. Improved informatics for workflow and knowledge management is needed to support the modernization of regulatory review processes in CDER so the Center can meet the increasing demands it faces. While this need is of the utmost importance in and of itself, there’s an additional imperative for speedy delivery of a modernized system due to the time-critical requirement to retire two legacy systems that have outgrown their useful life: Panorama and DARRTS. These systems not only lack the capability to deliver modern solutions to CDER’s business needs but are the source of unacceptable cybersecurity and financial risks to FDA and the U.S. government.<\/p>\n

In 2022 the OneNexus program was established by CDER’s Director to address the urgent needs mentioned above. Over the past 18 months General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT} has transitioned into the key contract support role and has been<\/p>\n

instrumental in setting overall strategy, developing strategic and tactical roadmaps, and initiating requirements gathering and software development efforts. While OneNexus program goals are aggressive, by executing an efficient roadmap with a team of experts who have been heavily involved in foundational efforts over the past 2 years, CDER is confident the program can be successful. However, for CDER to meet its goals within the deadlines dictated by the Center Director, it’s imperative that continuity be maintained by ensuring GDIT remains in place during this crucial and extremely risky phase of the program. Key achievements that have occurred to this point with vital cooperation between GDIT and government staff include:<\/p>\n
