About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Acquisitions has issued a Justification for Exception to Fair Opportunity to extend enterprise information technology support services to the Office of Innovation and Information Technology (OIIT) within the Office of Research Services (ORS) and Office of Research Facilities (ORF) under the CIO-SP3 vehicle. The incumbent contractor, DLH (formerly Grove Resource Solutions, Inc.), will continue providing mission-critical IT support services including biosafety monitoring for BSL-3 and BSL-4 laboratories, access control systems, and emergency notification systems through a 90-day extension of Task Order 75N98022F00001. The sole-source justification is based on FAR 16.507-6(b)(3) as a logical follow-on to the existing task order, with the extension deemed necessary to ensure operational continuity and maintain security compliance while the government finalizes a competitive follow-on procurement pending resolution of a bid protest. The extension was awarded on February 18, 2026, with an estimated contract value that is redacted in the justification document, and is structured as a firm-fixed-price contract with pricing validated against the NITAAC CIO-SP3 GWAC contract level. The rationale emphasizes that transitioning to a new vendor would create unacceptable operational risks, including 24-72 hour vulnerability windows during credential transfers and monitoring gaps for critical biosafety systems that support NIH's strategic objectives.
