Pre-Sol Notice of Intent

The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), a division of the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, is issuing a Pre-Solicitation Notice of Intent for research and development services in the physical, engineering, and life sciences. This procurement falls under NAICS code 541715 and PSC category AN11, which encompasses health research and development services along with basic research activities. While the notice does not provide specific details regarding key contract requirements, qualifications, or evaluation criteria at this pre-solicitation stage, interested parties should note that the due date for inquiries or expressions of interest is December 10, 2025. This Pre-Solicitation Notice of Intent serves as an advance notification to the market, allowing potential contractors time to prepare for the formal solicitation that will follow with more detailed specifications and submission requirements.

This procurement does not utilize any set-asides, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors without restrictions for small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, or other designated groups. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or provide specific award values or budget ranges at this preliminary stage, as these details typically emerge in the formal solicitation document. No information regarding possible contract values, timeline for service delivery, or specific quantities of work is included in this pre-solicitation notice. Interested organizations should monitor SAM.gov and the NHLBI website for the formal Request for Proposals (RFP) or Request for Applications (RFA) that will contain comprehensive procurement details, evaluation criteria, budget parameters, and submission deadlines. Organizations considering participation should use the time between now and the formal solicitation release to assess their capability to meet anticipated requirements and to develop competitive proposals.
