The Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Fors Marsh Group LLC on December 14, 2018, with a ceiling value of $1.55 billion for the Public Information and Communications Services Contract II (PICS II), a governmentwide strategic communications and public information services vehicle.

The contract supports federal agencies across the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and other civilian agencies requiring public communications, strategic messaging, media buying, campaign support, research, market research, program evaluation, and customer experience solutions.

The period of performance runs through December 16, 2024. Fors Marsh Group is a for-profit limited liability company and certified B Corporation.
