Chief Information Officer - Solutions and Partners 2 (CIO-SP2)

The National Institutes of Health closed ordering on the Chief Information Officer – Solutions and Partners 2 (CIO-SP2) Master GWAC on September 20, 2017, terminating a vehicle established December 21, 2000 that procured information technology solutions and health and biomedical-related IT services. The vehicle is no longer active; no new task orders may be issued.

CIO-SP2 has been superseded by two successor vehicles: Chief Information Officer – Solutions and Partners 3, awarded May 21, 2012, and Chief Information Officer – Solutions and Partners 3, Small Business, awarded April 30, 2012. Ordering activity peaked in 2011, when nine task orders were issued; the final task order was awarded July 31, 2012.

Twenty-eight task orders were awarded under CIO-SP2 with combined potential value of $175 million, of which $115.3 million (66 percent) has been obligated. Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. dominated the vehicle, capturing 23 of 28 orders representing $109.6 million in combined potential value—approximately 63 percent of total potential value. ItsolutionsNet Government Solutions, Inc. secured one order worth $52.2 million, the second-largest single award. Four other primes shared the remainder: Leidos Management Systems Designers, Inc. ($1.7 million), Computech, Inc. ($10.5 million), Systems Plus, Inc. ($800 thousand), and General Dynamics Government Systems Corporation ($87 thousand). All 28 task orders carried no set-aside designation.

Customer concentration was substantial but less concentrated than prime concentration: the Department of Agriculture Office of the Chief Financial Officer placed five orders worth $53.2 million; the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Land and Emergency Management placed three orders worth $32.6 million; and NIH NIAID and the EPA Office of Research and Development collectively placed eight orders. Task orders funded work across 11 distinct federal agencies.

Task-order values ranged from sub-million-dollar labor-hour support services to $53.2 million SETA engagements. Pricing types included time-and-materials, firm-fixed-price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and cost-plus-award-fee structures. Work encompassed system administrator services, database support, data center infrastructure, enterprise content management, help desk functions, and technical assistance across health agencies and environmental programs.

CIO-SP2, the precursor GWAC to the currently active CIO-SP3, was a vehicle for the provision of information technology (IT) solutions including health and biomedical-related IT services to meet scientific, health, administrative, operational, managerial, and information management requirements.
