About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health's NIEHS Office of Scientific Computing is forecasting a new requirement for continuing hardware maintenance support on its on-premise DDN Scientific Storage platform, with an estimated solicitation release and award date of November 1, 2026. The storage system, initially deployed in 2019 and significantly rebuilt and expanded in 2022 with replacement of all internal disk drives, serves as the repository and workspace for nearly all scientific data used by NIEHS intramural researchers. The required support ensures rapid replacement of failing disk drives, immediate real-time troubleshooting aid for Office of Scientific Computing staff, and next-day on-site service from a knowledgeable expert for major issues, such as those risking a system outage or loss of data.
The procurement is set aside for total small business under NAICS 541519, Other Computer Related Services, with an estimated award value range of $25,000 to $250,000. The support arrangement has been in effect since 2019. Points of contact are Kimesha Leake, Contracting Officer, at kimesha.leake@nih.gov, and Adam Burkholder at adam.burkholder@nih.gov.

The platform acts as a repository and workspace for nearly all scientific data generated and used by NIEHS intramural researchers. The proposed support contract, which has been in effect since 2019, ensures that failing disk drives are rapidly replaced, Office of Scientific Computing staff have access to immediate troubleshooting aid to diagnose and correct issues in real-time, and that major issues, such as those risking a system outage or loss of data, are addressed by a knowledgeable expert with next-day on-site service.
