This is a Request for Information (RFI) for planning purposes only, not a solicitation, and the government will not pay for responses. NIH seeks input on technologies supporting the Data COUNTS program, which aims to enable approved, standardized extraction of real-world data from healthcare partner EMRs and other source systems while preserving provenance and metadata. The desired solution includes durable leave-behind technology, deep query extraction, automated data quality checks, HIPAA-compliant de-identification, privacy-preserving record linkage tokenization, audit logging, and robust security and encryption. Respondents should describe which capabilities they can meet, whether features are commercial off-the-shelf, minor modifications, or custom development, along with billing and pricing models, relevant experience, and business size and status. Responses are for market research only and may inform a future solicitation.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) from the NIH regarding the Data COUNTS program, seeking industry input on technologies for collecting standardized real-world data from healthcare partner EMR systems. The contemplated capability requires durable leave-behind technology that remains at healthcare partner sites, deep query extraction, immutable provenance, de-identification per HIPAA, privacy-preserving record linkage, and robust security including TLS 1.2/1.3 and SIEM-compatible logging. Respondents should address which capabilities are COTS, minor modifications, or custom development, and provide pricing models, relevant experience, and business size. The government will use responses for planning purposes only and may contact respondents for clarification or demonstrations. No contract will be awarded based on this RFI.
