About this opportunity
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, under the National Institutes of Health, has awarded a sole-source contract modification to Effectual Public Sector Inc. for IT security support services on June 24, 2026, with an estimated total value of $270,738.
The justification cites the incumbent contractor's unique knowledge of NIAMS systems and infrastructure and the necessity of a 60-day transition period to prevent service degradation. The Government determined that no alternate contractor could reasonably assume performance without substantial delay and operational risk, and that a new competitive procurement could not be completed within the required timeframe. Market research identified over 65 capable vendors, but the contracting officer concluded that competitive award was impracticable given NIAMS' operational constraints. The contract is awarded under Federal Supply Schedule contract GS35F135BA (75N98026F00023). The period of performance runs from June 2026 through December 2026 (6 months), with an option to extend for an additional 6 months at $135,369. Services include IT security documentation support (System Security Plans, Risk Management Framework artifacts, policies and procedures), program management support, comprehensive security assessment and authorization support, continuous diagnostics and mitigation support, security awareness training, incident response planning, and related IT security services. All work must comply with FISMA, FIPS Publication 200, OMB policies, and NIST, HHS, and NIH standards.
