About this agency
The National Institutes of Health Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations, a sub-agency within the Department of Health and Human Services responsible for procuring research equipment, supplies, services, and facility support across NIH's intramural and extramural operations, awarded 22,589 federal contracts totaling $9.24 billion in combined potential value since 1993, with $7.78 billion obligated. Recent activity shows 1,080 awards in 2023, 851 in 2024, 395 in 2025, 645 in 2026, and 1 award recorded for 2027 (an estimated or option-exercise date in January 2027).
Competitive concentration is highly fragmented. The top five prime contractors by award count over the last five years—Fisher Scientific Company L.L.C. (148 awards), Guidehouse Digital LLC (126 awards), PHC Corporation of North America (120 awards), Medical Science & Computing, LLC (100 awards), and Astrix Technology LLC (100 awards)—hold 13 percent of recent awards. By potential value, the top five are led by Black Canyon Consulting LLC ($158.7 million), Guidehouse Digital LLC ($64.8 million), and Akima Facilities Operations LLC ($59.9 million), covering only 4 percent of combined potential value. A substantial portion of the portfolio transacts through Schedule task orders and BPA calls with unreported dollar ceilings; 2,972 recent awards (last five years) carry no reported potential value. Across 2,056 distinct prime contractors, no single vendor dominates the portfolio.
Set-asides are minimal. Ninety-three percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small business set-asides account for 4 percent of awards; 8(a) sole-source and competitive awards together represent 1 percent. SDVOSB, WOSB, and HUBZone awards each represent less than 1 percent of the portfolio.
Recent contract opportunities posted in October 2026 span equipment maintenance agreements (Lorrca ektacytometer maintenance, BD FACSymphony A-5 Flow Cytometer service, Cytena F.SIGHT Cell Sorter service, Tecan robot maintenance), sole-source awards to original equipment manufacturers, research support contracts (biomarker development at University of Alabama at Birmingham, SYK inhibitor synthesis at Purdue University), facility upgrades (Aquaneering zebrafish housing retrofit for the National Human Genome Research Institute), and sources-sought notices for specialized disposable gloves and biomedical engineering technical support services. Due dates range from October 16 through November 6, 2026. Most opportunities are issued as Notices of Intent under FAR Part 12 or FAR Part 13 simplified procedures, indicating non-competitive sole-source or brand-name acquisitions.
No grant activity is recorded against the agency.
