About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health forecasts a new Total Small Business requirement for maintenance and support of A10 Network Application Delivery Controllers, software-based load balancers that its Information Technology and Applications Center (ITAC) uses to support the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHLBI) public websites and internal systems. The estimated solicitation release and award dates are both April 1, 2026. The support must deliver software updates that address newly identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities and maintain compatibility with evolving federal security requirements, while the devices continue to distribute traffic across servers and manage the security certificates required for HTTPS connections.
The estimated award value range is $25,000 to $250,000 under NAICS 513210, Software Publishers. Points of contact are Jeremy White, Branch Chief/Contracting Officer, at jeremy.white@nih.gov or 301-402-4572, and Susan Haddad at susan.haddad@nih.gov.
Forecast text
The Information Technology and Applications Center (ITAC) provides the core technology infrastructure that supports NHLBI's public websites and internal systems. The A10 Network Application Delivery Controllers, which are software-based load balancers are critical components of this infrastructure. These devices ensure that website and application traffic is distributed evenly across multiple servers. This prevents system overloads, reduces the risk of outages, and ensures continuous availability of mission-critical services to researchers, staff, partners, and the public. They also enable secure online communications by managing security certificates required for encrypted (HTTPS) connections, which protect sensitive information. Software updates and vendor support is essential to maintain system security, performance, and reliability. Regular updates address newly identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities and ensure compatibility with evolving federal security requirements. Without active maintenance and support, NHLBI would face increased risk of system disruption, potential security breaches, and interruption of public-facing and research support services. Maintaining this capability directly supports NHLBI's mission to conduct and disseminate biomedical research by ensuring secure, reliable access to information and systems.
