About this vehicle
The National Cancer Institute is operating a multiple-award Master IDIQ for Biomedical Information Technology, Software Development, and Informatics Support (BITSDIS) with ordering authority expiring August 16, 2026 — four weeks and two days of remaining ordering window. The vehicle carries no set-aside designation; all 20 task orders to date have been unrestricted competitive awards.
Established August 17, 2021, the BITSDIS vehicle has obligated $172.5 million against a combined potential value of $185.7 million across its three prime contractors (93% utilization). Ordering momentum peaked in 2023 with eleven task orders; activity has since moderated to two orders in 2024 and one in 2026, suggesting the vehicle is in wind-down phase ahead of its August expiration.
Essex Management LLC dominates by potential value, holding seven orders worth $100.1 million combined — more than half the vehicle's total. Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. accounts for four orders totaling $69.3 million, while Deloitte Consulting LLP holds nine orders but with only $16.3 million combined potential value. The concentration is high: two firms control roughly 91% of the vehicle's combined potential value. Work is performed at Rockville, Maryland, with administrative oversight by NCI's Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology.
National Cancer Institute itself funds roughly 70% of awarded task orders ($128.6 million of $185.7 million combined potential value); the remaining work distributes across other NIH institutes including the National Institute on Aging, National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, and National Human Genome Research Institute.
Task orders span clinical and research informatics platforms, data commons sustainability, financial and business systems development, communications support, and program management. Representative ceiling values range from under $1 million for specialized studies to $58.5 million for Clinical Reporting and Research Informatics (CRRI). Pricing varies between time-and-materials, labor-hours, and firm-fixed-price. The largest single award, Digital Communications Services & Support, carries a ceiling of $36.8 million. Most task orders run one to two years, though several CRRI and Clinical Trials Reporting Office orders extend through August 2026.
