The procurement is a firm-fixed-price contract with a 41-month base period from August 1, 2026, through December 31, 2029, plus an optional 8-month warehousing task from March 1, 2029, through October 31, 2029.

The contractor must designate three key personnel: an IOTA Activation Project Manager (minimum 7 years project management experience, 5 years IOT&A experience), IOTA Senior Designer (5 years healthcare design experience, NCIDQ or CHID certification required), and IOTA Senior Transition Planner (3 years transition planning experience). All contractor personnel require NACI (National Agency Check with Inquiries) clearance. Core work hours are 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays; travel beyond 50 miles requires pre-approval.
