About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health is forecasting a new requirement for contract closeout support of 8 full-time equivalents, with an estimated solicitation release date of June 1, 2026 and an estimated award date of July 1, 2026. Contractor staff would prepare closeout actions for Federal employee review, supporting NIH's corrective action plan for overdue closeouts under statutory requirements and HHS's Undelivered Orders initiative to sweep unliquidated liabilities off contracts. The source states that the Federal workforce lacks the capacity to complete these legally required duties without contractor preparation support unless Federal employee positions are increased.
The estimated award value range is $1.5 million to $3.0 million under NAICS 541611, Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services, with no set-aside used. Rosemary Gomes, Contracting Officer (rosemary.gomes@nih.gov, +12406695374), and Mahlon Lancaster (lancastermah@mail.nih.gov) are the listed points of contact.
Forecast text
NIH is on a corrective action plan due to volume of contract closeouts which are overdue per statutory requirements. Additionally, HHS has an Undelivered Orders (UDO) initiative to sweep all unliquidated liabilities off of contracts as quickly as possible. Overdue contract closeouts has been an issue that the NIH Director has been intensely criticized for at Congressional hearings. Contractors have historically been utilized to prepare closeout actions for Federal employee review. The Federal workforce is not sufficient capacity to handle these legally required duties without preparation support supplemented by contractor staff. Unless Federal employee positions are increased, contractors are needed to assist in contract closeouts.
