About this opportunity

The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center issued a Limited Source Justification (LSJ) notice on April 1, 2026, for a sole-source logical follow-on contract to provide Linkage, Review, and Cloud Support Services for the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Linkage program. The contract, awarded to Acumen LLC on March 26, 2026, encompasses a 12-month period consisting of a 6-month base period plus two 3-month option periods extending from March 2026 through March 2027, with an estimated value that remains redacted in the published justification. The services include obtaining and linking Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) files to NIA-funded studies, reviewing researcher data-use requests for compliance, operating a secure Federal Information Security Modernization Act-Moderate data enclave, and providing technical assistance to support over 1,150 researchers across 137 Data Use Agreements. The justification for sole-source award under FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)C rests on Acumen's status as the incumbent contractor with existing operational infrastructure, institutional knowledge, required authorizations including an Authorization to Operate and CMS Data Use Agreement, and specialized capabilities that cannot be readily transferred to another vendor without causing unacceptable service delays and substantial cost duplication. The government intends to conduct a competitive recompete solicitation with a projected award in late 2026, making this bridge contract essential to maintain program continuity during the transition period.
