About this forecast

The National Institutes of Health is requesting approval of an additional $195,084.96 to complete the award for PCA-NIEHS-05341, a New Requirement for Dell High Memory Servers under NAICS 541519, set aside for total small business, with an estimated award date of 2026-08-01. After solicitation in late July, the lowest offer was $598,396.34, while the approved DER/PAA of $403,311.38 matched NIH's IGCE from early April, which had been scaled to the original requirement. The forecast's estimated solicitation release date was 2026-07-01.

The estimated award value range is $250,000 to $700,000. To absorb the increase within fixed budget allocations, NIH plans to reduce the Administrative Servers purchased under PCA-NIEHS-05339, approved at $358,327.21 and expected to award at around $158,000, a reduction of $200,000. Points of contact are Adam Burkholder (adam.burkholder@nih.gov) and Kimesha Leake, Contracting Officer (kimesha.leake@nih.gov), both at the National Institutes of Health.

Forecast text

When we submitted the request for Dell High Memory Servers (PCA-NIEHS-05341), we attempted to scale our IGCE to account for steadily increasing costs in data center hardware. Since our original submission, the rate of increase has accelerated significantly. Upon solicitation in late July, the lowest offer to fulfill this requirement was $598,396.34, however, our approved DER/PAA request matched our IGCE from early April at $403,311.38. We are requesting approval of an additional $195,084.96 in order to complete the award. As our budget allocations remain fixed, we plan to reduce the quantity of Administrative Servers we are purchasing under a different DER/PAA approval, PCA-NIEHS-05339. We anticipate that procurement, approved at $358,327.21, will be awarded at a cost of around $158,000; a reduction of $200,000.
