Indefinite Delivery Contract 75N98023D00034

The Long-Term Administrative Support Contract III (LTASC III) is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity multiple award contract issued 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. As a follow-on to LTASC II, LTASC III maintains a total small business set aside with a period of performance from 2020 to 2028 and a total estimated value of $150 million. Laredo Technical Services, Inc. received multiple delivery orders against LTASC III to provide administrative assistance to various NIH Institutes, including the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, the National Cancer Institute, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Delivery order periods of performance range from August 2023 to June 2024 across locations in North Carolina, Maryland, Texas and the District of Columbia. Services include workshop coordination, program support, and administrative assistance at values between $16,562.88 to $502,067.56.

The original 2020 pre-solicitation notice sought proposals for LTASC III to continue obtaining non-inherently governmental administrative services to support NIH's medical research mission over the long term. As the prime federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research, NIH requires administrative services through vehicles like LTASC III to assist its various Institutes and Centers in pursuing their research goals into issues like the environment's effects on human health, cancer, and substance abuse. The administrative support provided under LTASC III delivery orders aids NIH programs in advancing science while adhering to federal contracting guidelines.
