THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT, NOT A
REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. A REQUEST FOR QUOTE (RFQ) WILL
NOT BE ISSUED AND QUOTES WILL NOT BE REQUESTED.
The National Institute of Health (NIH) Center for Information Technology (CIT) intends to award a firm fixed price sole source contract under the authority of FAR 12.102(a), only one source being available to meet the Government's needs, to:
Carahsoft, Inc.
11493 Sunset Hills RD, Ste 100 Reston, VA 20190
The National Institute of Health (NIH) Center for Information Technology (CIT) hereby submits a notice of intent to award a sole source firm fixed price purchase order for a Software as a Service (SaaS) for Smartsheet Gov software subscription licenses and associated implementation and support services. Carahsoft is Smartsheet’s only authorized reseller. CIT requires Smartsheet Gov to replace the existing Microsoft Project Web Application (PWA)/Project Online environment, which Microsoft is retiring in September 2026. PWA is currently used to support project scheduling, risk and issue management, project dependencies, portfolio oversight, and executive reporting. The transition to Smartsheet Gov is necessary to maintain continuity of these project management functions while minimizing disruption to Network Services operations.
Smartsheet Gov is required because it provides the combination of capabilities necessary to meet CIT's technical, security, governance, and operational requirements. These capabilities include FedRAMP Moderate authorization, advanced row-level automation, dynamic multi-project aggregation dashboards, role-based access and governance capabilities, zero-code workflow development, and integration with existing NIH identity and access management systems. The solution will also support continued integration with existing Microsoft Power BI executive reporting.
The requirement includes a 12-month Smartsheet Gov subscription and professional services necessary to successfully transition from Microsoft PWA. Implementation services will include discovery and requirements validation, solution design and configuration, migration planning, development of project templates, testing, user and administrator training, documentation, governance recommendations, implementation, and post-implementation support. Use of an alternative product would not satisfy the identified combination of technical, security, interoperability, governance, automation, and operational requirements necessary for the CIT environment and would introduce additional transition and integration risks. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 513210 Software Publishers business size $47M.
The period of performance will be for one (1) 12-month base period.
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, and no solicitation document exists for the requirement. This hereby constitutes a synopsis of the requirement.
