About this vehicle
The National Institutes of Health established this Master IDIQ on July 1, 2012 to provide NIH Institutes and Centers with media, communication, and information dissemination services where in-house expertise does not exist; ordering closed March 6, 2019, and the vehicle has been succeeded by Public Information and Communications Services II, awarded December 14, 2018.
The vehicle contracted 53 task orders through its ordering closure, declining from a peak of 13 orders annually in 2014–2015 to just 3 orders in 2018. Task orders tracked communication and outreach support, exhibit and conference management, web design and development, materials development, technical writing, research translation and dissemination services, language translation, and patient education materials. Recent orders funded President's Cancer Panel reporting, NCI exhibit and conference management, NIDA research dissemination services, NIMH communications support, and PMI (Preventive Medicine Initiative) communications logistics. One task order to an unnamed contractor for support management and advertising carried a combined potential value of $34.8 million with $20 million obligated; a second mega-order to an unnamed contractor for communications, outreach, and logistics to support PMI-related conferences carried $14.3 million.
Scientific Consulting Group Inc. dominated by potential value, holding $55.5 million across 5 orders (49% of the vehicle's combined potential value); Palladian Partners, Inc. held $23.3 million across 10 orders; and IQ Solutions, Inc. held $13.1 million across 12 orders. These three firms captured approximately 92% of combined potential value. Competition among the remaining 12 awardees was minimal; nearly all 53 task orders (52 of 53, or 98%) carried no set-aside designation.
The Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations placed 20 orders totaling $33.5 million in combined potential value (30% of vehicle total). The National Institute on Drug Abuse, National Cancer Institute, Office of the Director, and National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences collectively accounted for 16 additional orders. Combined potential value reached $112.8 million, with $81.2 million obligated (72% of potential). Task orders ranged from firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials arrangements to cost-no-fee structures and fixed-price level-of-effort formats.
