NIH Office Supplies 2012-2017

The National Library of Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health within HHS, awarded this Master IDIQ for office supplies on May 29, 2012; ordering closed on May 31, 2017, and the vehicle is no longer active.

The vehicle generated seven task orders totaling $47 thousand in combined potential value, with all dollars obligated. Orders concentrated heavily in the first year (four awards in 2012), then declined to one order per year in 2013, 2015, and 2016. Work centered on archival and collections management supplies—rehousing and treating archival materials, photographs, and prints, plus storage supplies for the National Library of Medicine's History of Medicine Division and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Competition was minimal. Hollinger Metal Edge, Inc. captured four orders worth $27 thousand; Technical Library Service, Inc. won two orders totaling $17 thousand; and University Products, Inc. received one order for $3 thousand. All task orders were firm-fixed-price awards without set-aside designations. Individual order ceilings ranged from $3 thousand to $11.6 thousand.

Funding came predominantly from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (five orders, $34 thousand), with the National Library of Medicine placing two orders for $14 thousand. All delivery orders show ultimate completion dates of May 31, 2017 or earlier, confirming the vehicle reached natural expiration.

This vehicle is closed to new orders and presents no current pursuit opportunity. It serves as a historical reference for NIH archival supplies procurement patterns but contains no active contracting window.
