About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC), on behalf of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), issued a Justification for an Exception to Fair Opportunity on February 17, 2026, for a sole-source modification (P00017) to extend enterprise network infrastructure support services (ENISS) under existing task order 75N98122F00001. General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) was awarded the modification to increase staffing levels across four critical task areas during Option Period 4 (January 31, 2026 through January 30, 2027), including PTOnet5 hardware replacement, VPN/SASE/zero trust remote access deployment via Netskope, Enterprise Access Infrastructure System (EAIS) Axway server deployment in AWS, and public key infrastructure (PKI) cloud migration and automation. The sole-source justification is predicated on avoiding duplication of effort, leveraging GDIT's established expertise with USPTO's specialized network environments (PTONet, TRINet, AWS, Azure, GCP), ensuring service continuity, and reducing implementation risk through the contractor's existing knowledge of specialized infrastructure tools. The modification utilizes time and materials contract terms with established labor categories and rates already incorporated into the original task order, with the contracting officer determining anticipated costs will be fair and reasonable. While the specific award amount is not disclosed in the notice, the government anticipates that future follow-on procurements will be competed and will incorporate historical effort levels into cost estimates.
