National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases Data Repository

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the National Institutes of Health awarded a Master IDIQ on December 1, 2020, to procure administrative, statistical, programming, data management, and informatics services to maintain and enhance the NIDDK Central Repository and support the biomedical data science ecosystem. Ordering authority extends through November 30, 2030, leaving approximately 4 years and 4 months of purchasing window. The vehicle carries a $75 million shared ceiling and an unrestricted, single-award structure.

Only one prime contractor, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., holds all three task orders awarded to date, capturing the entire $19.6 million combined potential value across the vehicle. This concentration reflects the incumbent nature of the vehicle — the initial task order, awarded December 1, 2020, established baseline NIDDK Data Repository Services and spans nearly the full ordering period through November 30, 2029, with a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure and a ceiling of $18.7 million. The two subsequent orders, both firm-fixed-price modifications supporting Researcher Authentication/Authorization Service (RAS) integration, were awarded in September 2023 and September 2024, signaling active maintenance and incremental capability development. The vehicle has obligated $13 million (66% of combined potential value) to date, with $12.2 million flowing to the initial incumbency task order and approximately $870 thousand split between the smaller RAS integration orders.

Customer concentration is marked: the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development funds the majority of work ($18.7 million potential value) through the primary task order, while NIDDK itself funds the two smaller RAS enhancements ($869 thousand combined). All task orders are unrestricted, non-small-business awards. Ordering velocity has been modest, with one order per year in 2020, 2023, and 2024, though the long duration of the primary task order and the recent pair of focused modernization orders suggest sustained engagement. Scope centers on repository operations, data management, and incremental technology integration rather than broad-based competitive task-order solicitations.

Ensure daily, overarching performance in the administrative, statistical, programming, data management, and informatics to maintain and enhance the NIDDK Central Repository. Further develop and identify opportunities to align NIDDK/NIH activities with changes and developments in the data science and data sharing fields; provide administrative support in conference planning to facilitate opportunities with communities of practice; and assist the Government in the development of new or exploitation of existing innovations and technology improvements in the biomedical data science ecosystem.
