The National Institutes of Health awarded an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity multiple award contract to Contemporaries, Inc. under the Long-Term Administrative Support Contract III vehicle. With a potential value of $150 million, the contract provides commercially provided administrative services across NIH Institutes and Offices through July 2027. The original solicitation sought these services on a long-term basis to support NIH's medical research mission in a non-inherently governmental capacity. Services will be ordered via task orders under the contract's base and performance periods. As the prime biomedical research agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, NIH requires support contracts to assist its work conducting and funding medical research nationwide and abroad. This follow-on to an earlier contract aims to continue enabling NIH to achieve its goals of improving public health through research and discovery.
The pre-solicitation notice designated the acquisition as a total small business set-aside. It described NIH's need for a long-term vehicle to obtain administrative services not inherently governmental across all of its Institutes and Centers to back its medical research activities. Offerors were required to demonstrate how they could provide these services over the life of the award. The resulting multiple-award ID/IQ contracts will furnish NIH with flexible access to tailored support contracting for the duration of its research efforts.
