About this opportunity
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, under the National Institutes of Health, issued this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice on April 7, 2026, to extend GSA Contract #47QTCA18D00JA, Task Order #75N97022F00091 for software, database administration, and support services for the National Library of Medicine's Lister Hill National Center of Biomedical Communications. The seventy-five-day extension, running from March 25, 2026 through June 7, 2026, will allow the incumbent contractor to continue providing specialized services including data science support, biomedical informatics, natural language processing, machine learning, and infrastructure support while the government completes a competitive re-compete acquisition. The justification for sole-source consideration rests on the contractor's unique expertise, deep system integration knowledge, and the operational criticality of maintaining service continuity; a break in service would create cybersecurity vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and operational downtime that outweigh cost savings. The vendor identity and specific award value were not disclosed in the posted notice, though the extension will increase the total contract value under the Time and Materials contract type. This extension represents a bridge solution to prevent service lapses during the transition to a new competitive award, with the justification posted for the required thirty-day public comment period on SAM.Gov in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6(a)(2).
Notice text
The Government intends to issue a modification to extend GSA Contract # 47QTCA18D00JA, Task Order (TO) # 75N97022F00091 for seventy-five (75) days to prevent a lapse in service for software, database administration, and support services for NLM LHNCBC from March 25, 2026, to June 07, 2026. This proposed extension is to prevent a break of service while providing the Government with the necessary time to award the competitive recompete acquisition.
This acqusition is conducted under the authority of the GSA Multiple-Award Schedule (GSA MAS) program. Consideration of schdule contractors will be restricted in accordance with:
FAR 8.405-6(a)(i)(B) Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.
Awarded contract 47QTCA18D00JA to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-03-24.
