The NIH Public Information and Communication 2012-2016 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle enables the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its component Institutes and Centers to procure high-quality communication, media, and information dissemination services. The contract is designed to support agencies that lack in-house expertise in public information, communication technologies, and strategic outreach. Services under this vehicle appear to span a wide range of communication needs, including technical writing, web design, meeting logistics, scientific consulting, advertising, research translation, and communication campaign development.

Task orders under this vehicle typically range from approximately $50,000 to $35 million, with contract periods spanning one to three years. Frequently winning prime contractors include IQ Solutions, Scientific Consulting Group, Palladian Partners, Nova Research Company, and Campbell & Company Communications. Most task orders were issued by NIH component agencies such as the National Cancer Institute, National Institute on Drug Abuse, and National Institute of Mental Health. While the vast majority of task orders did not have specific small business set-asides, a few contractors like IQ Solutions are certified as minority-owned, woman-owned, or small businesses. The task orders cover a diverse array of communication needs, including scientific research dissemination, conference support, website development, public health outreach, and specialized communication services for specific research initiatives.
