About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Library of Medicine has issued a Limited Source Justification for operations, maintenance, and modernization support of ClinicalTrials.gov, awarding a contract to ICF Incorporated for an estimated $8,132,837. The six-month contract extension, running from March 27, 2025 to September 26, 2025, is being awarded sole-source due to ICF's unique expertise in the ongoing modernization of the clinical trials registration system. The platform, which hosts over 525,000 registered clinical studies and serves over 200,000 daily users, requires specialized continuous support to maintain its critical research infrastructure. Replacing the contractor would introduce significant risks, including potential service disruptions and delays in modernization efforts. The justification emphasizes ICF's critical institutional knowledge from leading the system's modernization since 2021, with the contract period designed to allow NIH to complete infrastructure upgrades and prepare for a future competitive procurement while ensuring uninterrupted service of this Congressionally mandated platform.
