The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, a component of the National Institutes of Health within the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Medical Science & Computing, LLC. The IDV provides a contracting vehicle for the agency to obtain professional, scientific, and administrative support services through task order awards against the prime contractor's Multiple Award Schedule contract.
Relevant task order awards under the IDV total approximately $6.5M and procure services including laboratory technicians, research coordinators, chemists, nurses, data analysts, and medical imaging professionals over one to two year periods of performance in Rockville, Maryland. The services support research initiatives across NHLBI programs focused on cardiovascular, pulmonary, hematologic, and related diseases. Notable task orders provide research support to the Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics Branch, Office of the Clinical Director, and Pulmonary Branch. No set-asides or subcontracting arrangements are designated in the task order documentation provided.
The IDV and associated task orders aim to utilize private sector expertise under pre-negotiated GSA Schedule contract terms to fulfill short-term staffing requirements within the NHLBI's broad mission to reduce illness and death from heart, lung, and blood diseases through basic and clinical investigation, training, and health information dissemination. The contracted services supplement federal employees to facilitate the NIH's position at the forefront of biomedical research.
