Description

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has a requirement for logistical support services.  The successful contractor will be asked to perform logistical support within the area of meeting and conference support services. 

To achieve NIAID’s goals of facilitating research and improving methods for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious and immune mediated diseases; and to assist in the dissemination of research results, NIAID requires diverse administrative and logistical support. Due to the dynamic nature of the work conducted by the NIAID, it is necessary to have a support mechanism in place that is flexible, responsive, and timely to accommodate changing priorities. Additionally, changes in public health priorities, Congressional emphasis, and changes resulting from ongoing research will impact the administrative and logistical support needs of the institute. In some areas of required logistical support, it is not possible to anticipate the exact work that will be required by the contractor in each year. The technical requirements outlined reflect those unknowns as there are base requirements as well as indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract task areas.

The period of performance required for total performance (inclusive of all options) is from 03/19/2023 to 03/18/2028. This includes a one-year Base and four one-year Option Periods.
