About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health, through the Information Technology and Applications Center (ITAC) of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), forecasts a requirement to renew its Absolute Security endpoint software, with a solicitation release estimated for July 1, 2026 and an award estimated for September 1, 2026. The solution provides persistent device monitoring, asset tracking, and security enforcement that remain active when a device is compromised, tampered with, or taken off the network, supporting federal cybersecurity compliance and incident response. The forecast is set aside for Total Small Business under NAICS 513210, Software Publishers.
The estimated award value range is $25,000 to $250,000, and ITAC must purchase 5,000 Absolute Security licenses to cover all NHLBI endpoints.

Forecast text
This purchase is to renew NHLBI's Absolute Security software. Absolute Security is required to maintain continuous visibility, control, and security of organizational endpoints. The solution provides persistent device monitoring, asset tracking, and security enforcement that remain active even if a device is compromised, tampered with, or taken off the network. This capability is critical for protecting sensitive data, ensuring compliance with federal cybersecurity requirements, and supporting incident response and recovery activities. If the Information Technology and Applications Center (ITAC), part of the Office of Management of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute does not purchase 5,000 Absolute Security licenses to cover all endpoints, it will be unable to provide these security capabilities to National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute assets, resulting in incomplete endpoint coverage. This gap would prevent the organization from meeting required security and compliance standards and would increase the risk of unmanaged or unprotected devices operating within the environment. Without Absolute Security and sufficient licensing coverage, the organization would face increased risk of undetected device loss, theft, or unauthorized access, potential data breaches, compliance violations, operational disruptions, and increased remediation costs. The lack of full endpoint coverage would also limit the organization's ability to enforce security controls and respond effectively to cybersecurity incidents, placing mission operations and sensitive information at risk.
