The Long-Term Administrative Support Contract III (LTASC III) is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health to provide administrative support services across the agency on a long-term basis. The multiple award contract has a total small business set aside and potential value of $150 million over five years. Task orders awarded under LTASC III to Contemporaries, Inc. as the prime contractor call for administrative support services to be performed at various NIH locations, including Silver Spring and Bethesda, Maryland, to support the medical research missions of institutes such as the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and National Eye Institute. Services include administrative, clerical, and executive level support functions. Task order periods of performance range from one year to five years, with firm fixed price and labor hour contract types utilized.
The original solicitation sought proposals for LTASC III as the follow-on to the prior LTASC II contract vehicle in order to continue obtaining administrative services across NIH through commercial sources. As the prime federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research, NIH requires support contracts to provide non-inherently governmental services that facilitate its work in areas like conducting research, supporting external scientists, and training and information programs. LTASC III aims to be this long-term solution for a range of administrative services to assist NIH in achieving its objectives.
