About this agency
The National Library of Medicine, a sub-agency of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, procures contracts for biomedical information systems, digital health infrastructure, and scientific data management in support of the nation's medical research and public health mission. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has awarded 3,784 federal contracts totaling $6.52 billion in combined potential value since 2002, with $4.84 billion obligated to date.
Contract activity has accelerated over the past five years but shows recent deceleration. NLM closed 189 awards in 2022, 347 in 2023, 351 in 2024, 134 in 2025, and 90 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-10-16. Across the portfolio, 725 distinct prime contractors have been awarded work.
The contract competitive landscape is moderately concentrated among recent active primes by award count but highly fragmented by potential value. Over the last five years, New TECH Solutions, Inc. leads by award volume with 99 awards totaling $29.1 million in combined potential value, followed by IT1 Source LLC (79 awards, $5 million) and Govsmart, Inc. (55 awards, $11.8 million); these top five by award count account for 29% of recent awards. When ranked by potential value, the top five are led by ICF Incorporated, L.L.C. ($78.5 million across 23 awards) and BLH Technologies Inc. ($38.8 million across 18 awards), but these top five represent only 3% of the combined potential value across the window, indicating a long tail of smaller-dollar work distributed across the contractor base. Thundercat Technology, LLC appears in both rankings (44 awards, $29.8 million), suggesting sustained engagement across both volume and value dimensions.
The set-aside mix is dominated by open competition. Eighty-five percent of awards (3,201) carry no set-aside designation. Small-business set-asides account for 12% of awards (447 total), with the remainder split across 8(a) sole-source (18 awards), HUBZone (17 awards), and women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small-business designations in single-digit volumes.
