About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Logistics and Acquisition Operations has awarded a $7,297,111 time and materials contract to Credence Management Solutions LLC under GSA Supply Schedule to optimize scientific and organizational operations in response to Executive Order 14212. The contract, which runs from April 29, 2025 to January 27, 2026, focuses on developing technical and scientific solutions to improve national health metrics through specialized expertise in health IT, digital health, AI/ML, cloud engineering, and comprehensive data management. Due to urgent implementation requirements and time constraints associated with the Executive Order, NIH sole-sourced the contract without competitive bidding, utilizing federal acquisition regulations that allow for expedited procurement when normal competitive processes are impractical. The agency has committed to conducting thorough market research for potential competitive follow-on requirements in future acquisitions.
Notice text
NIH was tasked with an urgent and compelling requirement to comply with Executive Order 14212 (Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission). NIH required analytical, research, technology and operations support services to develop and recommend technical, and scientific solutions and implementation strategies to help achieve the goals set forth in the Executive Order.
NIH sought in house subject matter experts for feasibility on how to proceed. GSA Supply Schedules were reviewed. Contracts having similar task types were reviewed as well.
Due to the urgent and compelling nature required for complying with President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 14212 (Establishing the President’s Make America Healthy Again Commission) the Government did not have sufficient time to request capability statements, gather & evaluate quotes and provide opportunities for competition for this requirement.
This acquisition is conducted under the authority of 41 United States Code (U.S.C.) 253(c) (1) as set forth in Federal Acquisition Regulation 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(A).
Additionally, time constraints and complexity of the requirement brought challenges to contract type. As a result of these constraints, it is not possible to accurately estimate the extent of costs with any reasonable degree of confidence canceling the normal contract type Fixed Price. Therefore, a Time and Materials type task award on a GSA contract was considered the best value to the Government. GSA pricing has already been determined fair and reasonable to the government. NIH is committed to competing acquisitions to the maximum extent possible. If a follow-on requirement is required, thorough market research will be conducted regarding potential sources through the Federal Supply Schedule.
Awarded contract 47QTCA19D00AX to CREDENCE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY for 7297111.00 on 2025-04-30.
