Office of Acquisition Management and Policy

The National Institutes of Health Office of Acquisition Management and Policy, a sub-agency within the Department of Health and Human Services' research mission structure, procures administrative, operational, and policy-support services for the NIH acquisition function itself.

The Office has issued 83 federal contract awards since 2001, with a most recent award dated October 22, 2016. Contract activity has been episodic across the portfolio history; annual award counts over the last five years tracked 5 awards in 2010, 13 in 2011, 5 in 2012, 18 in 2015, and 4 in 2016. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $77 million, with $55.1 million obligated to date (72% of potential value). The Office works with a fragmented prime-contractor base of 36 distinct awardees, indicating no dominant incumbent. Set-aside activity is minimal: 94 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, 5 percent are small-business set-asides, and 1 percent is an 8(a) sole-source award.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against this office. No grant-award or grant-opportunity activity is present in the agency's portfolio.

The portfolio data does not support current pursuit. The most recent contract award closes a gap of more than ten years from today's date, and no open solicitations are documented. The Office's acquisition footprint is small relative to broader NIH procurement, its vendor base is distributed across 36 primes with no material concentration, and the absence of recorded opportunities suggests the office is not currently sourcing external support at scale.
