About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations issued a sole source justification for a one-year bridge contract (April 13, 2026 – April 12, 2027) awarded to Richard S. Carson & Associates, Inc. under Federal Supply Schedule contract GS-35F-274DA to provide Information Technology (IT) Security Support Services to the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). The services include IT security documentation support, security program management, Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A) analysis, incident response support, continuous diagnostics and mitigation (CDM) support, and related IT security services necessary to maintain essential daily security operations in compliance with FISMA 2014 and statutory requirements. The sole source justification is based on efficiency and logical follow-on rationale under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(iii), as the bridge period is required to allow NIH IT Leadership time through Summer 2026 to finalize an IT consolidation strategy in response to the President's Executive Order on Government Efficiency, while enabling NHGRI to conduct a competitive recompete (four months), complete transition planning (two months), and avoid service lapses that would disrupt critical security operations. Market research conducted in February-March 2026 confirmed that transitioning to another vendor would introduce unacceptable delays and security risks, and no other sources expressed interest in continuing the service. The specific award amount was not disclosed in the posting materials.
