The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to DLH Holdings Corp subsidiary Grove Resource Solutions, LLC (doing business as Grsi) for specialized IT services. The initial BPA award was $47.1 million to provide service desk support, infrastructure operations, and maintenance services for NHLBI from 2018 to 2023. Subsequently, Grsi was awarded two additional BPA call orders totaling $109.8 million to deliver IT sustainment, configuration management, and infrastructure operations support for NHLBI through 2026. These services are being procured under the Information Technology Support Services BPA, which allows NHLBI to rapidly obtain a wide range of IT capabilities from Grsi, an experienced provider to both civilian and defense agencies. The contract awards did not include any socioeconomic set-asides. This IT services BPA positions Grsi to support NHLBI's critical medical research mission through the maintenance and operation of its technology infrastructure.
The original solicitation was for the GSA Information Technology Schedule 70 contract vehicle, which provides federal agencies access to commercial IT equipment, software, and services. The solicitation aimed to establish a streamlined ordering vehicle for a broad range of IT solutions, with the goal of enabling agencies to rapidly fulfill their technology needs. Grsi was awarded an IT Schedule 70 contract in 1996, providing the company access to this government-wide acquisition contract (GWAC) vehicle which serves as the foundation for the NHLBI BPA.
