About this forecast
The National Institutes of Health's NIEHS Office of Scientific Computing plans to procure Dell servers for administrative and maintenance tasks supporting the NIEHS High Performance Computing environment, with an estimated solicitation release date of 2026-06-01 and an estimated award date of 2026-07-01. The requirement is a new Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS 541519, Other Computer Related Services, to replace servers that have fallen or will soon fall out of warranty, reducing failure risk and unplanned downtime for intramural researchers who analyze very large, complex data sets and rely on the system for critical scientific storage backup. Warranty and technical support for this hardware is typically available for five years after purchase, after which the hardware risks reaching end-of-life status, when replacement parts and maintenance support are no longer available.
The estimated award value range is $250,000 to $700,000. Points of contact are Kimesha Leake, Contracting Officer at the National Institutes of Health (kimesha.leake@nih.gov), and Adam Burkholder at the National Institutes of Health (adam.burkholder@nih.gov).
Forecast text
The NIEHS Office of Scientific Computing (OSC) requires Dell Servers suitable for performing administrative and maintenance tasks in support of the operation of the NIEHS High Performance Computing (HPC) environment. NIEHS intramural researchers rely on this system to analyze very large and complex data sets and as a platform to develop novel analytical methods and tools. Administrative servers are required for a large number of support tasks including critical scientific storage backup. Warranty and technical support for this type of hardware is typically available for five years after purchase. After that time, the hardware is at risk of reaching end-of-life status where replacement parts are no longer available and maintenance and repair support is no longer offered as a service. The servers procured through this proposed acquisition will be utilized as replacements for those that have already or will soon fall out of warranty in order to reduce risk of failures and unanticipated system down-time.
